Don’t ever forget that you cannot do what God has called you to do. You cannot parent that child, love that husband, care for that elderly parent, submit to that boss, teach that Sunday school class, or lead that small-group Bible study. God specializes in the impossible, so that when the victory is won and the task is complete, we cannot take any credit. Others know we didn’t do it, and we know we didn’t do it. We must always remember that we can only live the Christian life and serve God through the power of His Holy Spirit. As soon as we think we can handle it on our own, we become useless to Him. We have to be willing to get out of the way, let God take over, and let Him overshadow us.

Herman Coffee Cake (or the 16 day friendship bread).
If you don't have a starter, it is made by stirring 1 cup of flour, 1 cup
of sugar and 1 cup of milk into a non metallic container. Let mixture sit
for five days stirring once each day.
On the 6th day feed Herman with: 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk.
Stir once a day for five more days. On the eleventh day, feed Herman again:
1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk.
Stir once a day for five more days. On the sixteenth day, you have five
cups of Herman. Use 2 cups for baking, keep 1 cup to restart and give 1 cup
each to two friends. (Or make two large loaves and keep the one cup for
yourself to restart.) To restart, I usually add 1 cup of each (sugar, flour
and milk) to the starter and do the 16 day process all over again. When the
process is over, you will have 6 cups of starter. If you do the 11 day
process to the starter adding 1/2 cup of sugar each along with the rest of
the process, then you may want to add the toppings to give it the
sweet-sourdough taste that you want.
Prepare to bake. Mix all cake ingredients.  Pour into greased 9x13 pan or
use 2 7+1/4 x 7+1/4 pans for freezing.
Topping #1: Mix and sprinkle on unbaked cake mix.
Bake 60 minutes for large loaf pan or 25 to 30 minutes for smaller loafs at
350    degrees F.
Topping #2: Mix and bring to boil. Drizzle topping on hot cake. Cool and
cover - eat or freeze. If reheating after freezing, put foil on top.
(The two separate toppings are optional. I make the loaves without the
toppings and the cakes still taste excellent to me. Of course I always
follow the 16 day process. Without the toppings, I sometimes put cream
cheese on my slices; it brings out more of the sweet/sourdough taste.)
Enjoy.
