Is a Christian couple free to take steps to avoid ever having any children? The issue here is one of motive: Wrong motives for being childless: 1. The world is over-crowded. 2. The world is too corrupt. 3. “We don't like kids!” 4. “We want the money and time to spend on ourselves.” Right motives for being childless: 1. If there is good reason to believe the parents would pass on a genetically fatal disease. 2. If you are physically able to have kids but physically unable to raise and nurture them. 3. If children would impede a clear call to ministry (missionaries). 4. If you are financially unable to provide for them (but this is only legitimate for delaying the bearing of children, not for not having any at all, ever).

Here's another family favorite from my Grama's recipe files.  It's probably
a little fattening, but that's probably why they taste soooo gooood!!!
These are also good (actually great!!!) with blueberries mixed right in
with the batter. And of course, they taste great as pancake men -- just
like Grama used to make for us every monday at lunch time. Hope you like
them, too.
Note:  When Grama gave me this recipe, it didn't include any measurements,
just like someone else mentioned about those old recipes.  I sort-of
pressed her to give me some idea of how much of each ingredient.
Mix all ingredients and add sufficient buttermilk to make the batter into
the right consistancy.  Make them just as you would for ordinary pancakes.
You can't beat these!!!!! ;)
An idea for the kids:  When your kids start to get full, you can make
pancake men with the batter.  Grama used to do that and it was something we
always looked forward to.  I still do it that way today - I'm a 32 yr old
kid, I guess.
