Name: Fantastic Fruit Muffins (Ovo Lacto)
Ingredients: 3/4 c Quick-cooking oats; 3/4 c Skim milk; 1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour; 1/4 c Plus 2*tablespoons brown; Sugar; 1 tb Baking powder; 1/4 ts Baking soda; 2 tb Plus*1*1/2*teaspoons Prune; Puree; 2 Egg whites; 1 ts Vanilla extract; 1 c Finely chopped fresh pears; (about 1*1/2*medium); 1/3 c Coarsely chopped fresh or; Frozen cranberries; 1/3 c Golden raisins; 3 oz Prunes (about*1/2*cup); 1 c Water or fruit juice

In Jeremiah’s prophecy of the new covenant, Jeremiah explicitly says, “It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I led them by the hand out of Egypt” (Jer. 31:32). How will it be different? For one thing, it will be unbreakable (v. 32). For another, all the members of that covenant will be regenerate, the law written on their hearts (v. 33). Yet another difference will be that the covenant will not operate according to natural lines of birth and descent, but through spiritual birth (vv. 29-30). Here the discontinuity between the new covenant and the Mosaic covenant is enormous: a covenant of grace, not works; a covenant that regenerates rather than kills; a covenant entered into through spiritual rather than natural birth. And yet for all this discontinuity, Jeremiah is clear that this new covenant is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, made to their forefather Abraham.

INSTRUCTIONS

PRUNE PUREE
use blender or food processor to puree prunes. use immediately or store in
airtight container in fridge.
Combine the oats and skim milk, stir to mix well, and set aside for at
least 5 minutes.
Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda, and stir to
mix well.  Add the oat milk mixture and the Prune Puree, egg whites,
vanilla extract, and pears, and stir just until the dry ingredients are
moistened.  Fold in the cranberries and raisins.
Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray, and fill 3/4 full with the
batter.  Bake at 350F for 15 to 17 minutes, or just until a wooden
toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes
before removing the muffins.  Serve warm or at room temp.
My experience: I substituted frozen and thawed mixed berries for the
cranberries. Making extra prune puree as stated above is confusing -- next
time I'll just throw some prunes (probably 2-3) and juice in the blender.
The cook time may be low -- mine took 20 - 25 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“God makes it, we mess it”

But do you say, “This is so strange a thing?” What, my brethren! Is it not more strange that a family professing to be Christian, professing to have a firm hope for eternity, should advance toward that eternity without giving any sign of that hope, without any preparation, without any conversation, perhaps, alas! without any thought concerning it? Ah! this is very strange! Do you say, “This is a thing of very little repute or glory, and to which a certain degree of shame is attached?” And who, then, is the greatest: that father who, in former and happier days, was the high priest of God in his own house, and who increased his paternal authority and gave it a divine unction by kneeling down with his children before his Father and the Father of them all; or that worldly man in our days, whose mind is engaged only in vain pursuits, who forgets his eternal destiny and that of his children, and in whose house God is not? O what a shame is this!
