Name: Bishop Hill Corn Fritters
Ingredients: 2 lg EGGS; 1/4 c MILK; 1/4 c WATER; 1 tb BUTTER, melted; 16 oz Can WHOLE KERNEL CORN, drained (I use the drained juices instead of the water or add water to the juice to make 1/4 cup); 2 c ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR; 2 ts BAKING POWDER; 3/4 ts SALT; 1/4 ts BLACK PEPPER, freshly ground; 1 tb GRANULATED SUGAR; VEGETABLE OIL (for frying); CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR & MAPLE SYRUP

Look for the ones who are poor in spirit; who mourn their sin; who aren’t entitled, always insisting on their own way, but are meek; who are sick to death of sin and all its nonsense and so hunger and thirst for righteousness like it is water. When you find people like that, make sure they know who Jesus is. Make sure Jesus is the one who fills their impoverished spirit, who has forgiven their sins, who receives their life and worship, and whose righteousness they depend upon and pursue. When you find such people, tell them to join!

INSTRUCTIONS

* Instead of canned corn, 2 cups fresh or frozen corn can be substituted.
The original recipe does call for canned corn, as fritters were considered
a winter dish. And this recipe is much older than frozen technology.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add the milk (or corn liquid
mixed with water), and butter; blend. Stir in the corn and mix thoroughly.
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
Heat 2 inches of oil in an electric skillet or deep-fryer to 350-degreesF.
Drop the batter into the oil by tablespoonfuls and fry 2 to 3 minutes on
each side or until nicely browned. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup.

A Message from our Provider:

“God Answers Knee Mail”

The example of Jesus and the testimony of lovers of Christ throughout the centuries points us to early morning prayer as decisively important… First, it signals to our conscience that this is of first importance in the day. Second, it strikes the first blow in the battle of the day, instead of waiting till we are besieged from all sides. Third, what we do daily and do early shapes the spirit of our minds and brings us into a disposition of humility and trust that will bear better fruit than anxiety or self-reliance. Fourth, since beginning the day with the Word of God is crucial, prayer is equally crucial since the Word will not open its best wonders to us without prayer (Psm. 119:18). Fifth, it is uncanny how Satan can use even good things to squeeze prayer out of our schedule if we miss the early-morning hour. I have seen it again and again. If I say to myself, “I will give some time to prayer later,” it generally does not happen.
