INSTRUCTIONS

This is better than I can buy in stores. I am told that if you spritz with
water while loaves are rising and early in the cooking process that it gets
a heavier crust but that's too much work for me. I think it is one I wrote
down from Frugal Gormet.
I mix the water, yeast, salt, oats and some of the flour in a mixing bowl.
Slowly adding more flour until it cleans the bowl and most of the flour is
worked in. (I have bread thingys, without them you dump it out earlier and
keep working in flour)
When it is smooth, oil the bottom of a big bowl, put the dough in and turn
so that the oiled surface is on top. Cover with cling wrap or a damp cloth.
Let rise for 5 or 6 hours.
Form loaves. (Four long, thin ones or 2 long fat ones) I use the supports
with holes in them for french loaves. Let them rise again. (don't forget to
spritz)
Cook at a high heat for 15-20 minutes, depending on loaf size. (don't
forget to spritz)
I have also used this dough for breadsticks which were a lot of work but
impressed the heck out of people.
Oh yes, don't cover these loaves with plastic or anything. They dry from
the outside in. By day 3 or 4 you need to toast them. Brush with garlic and
olive oil and enjoy!

A Message from our Provider:

“God is glorified by a thankful heart.”

Furthermore, a close study of the text nowhere suggests that the stone of the tomb was rolled away from the tomb to let Jesus out. The earthquake and rolling back of the stone recorded in Matthew (28:2) as a sign of a wonderful event, not as the event itself. There can be only one conclusion: the body of Jesus was gone before the stone was rolled away. It did not need to be removed for Him to escape the tomb; He had already escaped it. The removal of the stone was for the disciples, not for Jesus.

George Eldon Ladd

Mercy even with us is an optional virtue; we do not have to be merciful. We usually admire people who are, but we do not say that people must be so. We say everybody must be just. We say, for example, an employer, if he agrees to pay a certain wage, must pay that particular wage. If he does not pay it, then he is unjust and is liable to a lawsuit. All our contracts are based on the integrity and honesty and justice of people with whom we do business. They are actually subject to trials and imprisonment and even execution if they violate their duty of man to man. What about mercy among men? We love it. We admire it. We encourage it. We sometimes practice it. But we do not say mercy is obligatory… If this is true even of human affairs, we can see immediately that God does not have to be merciful. He gave us life and conscience. He gave us intelligence to meet our obligations, and He has a right to hold us responsible for using them. He has no further obligation to forgive us if we do not. We say that the Judge of all the earth cannot do wrong, but we cannot say that the Judge of all the earth must be merciful.
