Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the resurrection. At the time of His death they were very much afraid. Peter went to the extent of vehemently denying that he knew Christ. But in a few days this same Peter fearlessly proclaimed the Gospel in the same city. Listen to his audacity: “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though He had decided to let him go. You disowned the Holy and righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you” (Acts 3:13-14). There had to have been a sufficient reason for such a transformation.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In an electric mixer bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. Add
cranberries and mix briefly to coat.
Add the eggs, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla, all at once, mixing
only to moisten completely. Do not overmix! Scoop into well-greased muffin
tins, filling 2/3 full.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
Yield: 18 to 24 muffins.
Note: This is Ann's favorite "basic" muffin recipe: the muffins are light
as a feather.
***Try leaving out the cardamom and cranberries and substituting instead
lemon zest and poppyseeds; blueberries and orange zest; or cinnamon,
walnuts and raisins.
