Gf Pat’s Brown And White Rice Flour Breads An

The goal of our Christian life is to find so much beauty in Jesus Christ, happiness in Jesus Christ that the Sirens of sin don’t stand a chance. We are created for pleasure. Sin holds out for us a promise of pleasure. So we must fight its promise with a greater promise. We must understand the superior happiness that comes from doing it God’s way and not pursuing the temporary and toxic pleasures of sin.

INSTRUCTIONS

Dissolve 2 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup water in 2 cup bowl. Sprinkle on
yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes or until froth nearly reaches top.

Cool to lukewarm. Combine dry ingredients in mixer bowl.  Add  yeast
mix to flours. Blend well.  Add shortening mix. Blend well. Add  eggs.
Mix at highest speed with mixer for 2 minutes (my note ~ assume  this
requires a strong mixer with a dough hook?)  Let dough rise in a  warm
place until doubled, about an hour. Pour dough into greased,  small
bread pans 3/4 full or into cans for round breads.  Let rise  again.
Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Place foil over breads and bake  for 50
minutes. Remove from pans immediately, cool on rack. Recipe  may be
doubled.  Dough may be shaped for hot dog or hamburger buns  after
first rising.  For herb bread, add 2 Tbsp fennel seeds or dried  herbs
of choice to dry flour.

A Message from our Provider:

“Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.”

If one really wants to a see a theology for the church in action, one might walk into an old church graveyard at night. Walk about and see the headstones weathered and ground down by the elements. Contemplate the fact that beneath your feet are men and women who once had youthful skin and quick steps and hectic calendars but who are now piles of forgotten bones. Think about the fact that the scattered teeth in the earth below you once sang hymns of hope -maybe 'When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder I’ll Be There' or 'When We All Get to Heaven.' They are silent now. But while you are there, think about what every generation of Christians has held against the threat of sword and guillotine and chemical weaponry. This stillness will one day be interrupted by a shout from the eastern sky, a joyful call with a distinctly northern Galilean accent. And that’s when life really gets interesting.
