Oh, it’s more than just the fear of being persecuted. When we choose to live lives that are not pleasing to the Lord, we do so because we fear missing out on fun, or fear that our idols of dependency will be snatched away, or fear God’s way won’t effectively get the job done, or fear we will be pulled out of our comfort zone, or fear that it is going to cost us too much. The list continues, but it all comes back to fear, and fear results because we walk by sight and a lack of faith in God’s promises (cf. 2 Cor. 5:7). We don’t always live to please God because we think we know better than God as to what it takes to make us more productive and content and happy.
In large bowl mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Gradually stir in the
water; beat or whisk until smooth. Cover with towel; set in warm (80 - 80
deg F) draft-free place - the kitchen or other warm room in summer or in
cold weather on top of insulated furnace or radiator, on a buffer such as a
folded heavy towel or pillow. Stir 2 or 3 times a day for about 3 days or
until starter is bubbly an produces a yeasty aroma. Transfer to larger
bowl, large jar or plastic container. Cover partially (tilt lid or punch
holes in plastic cover); refrigerate. Makes about 1-1/2 to 2 cups starter,
depending on thickness. It can be creamy or as thick as dough because of
room conditions, the age of "Herman" and other variables. *Note about
"Herman"* Herman is a "cultured" dough you add to new dough to give it
distinctive flavor or texture it otherwise wouldn't have. But unlike other
starters that require constant feeding, stirring and using, this one
doesn't make a slave of you. You replentish "Herman" only after you use it.
And if it's longer than 14 days, put it in the freezer until you're ready.
The flavor of this starter evolves as it ages- mildly sweet when young,
more like sourdough when older. Care and Feeding of "Herman" The starter
should be used within 14 days and replenished or fed immediately after each
use. To feed starter, stir or whisk in 1 cup each flour and milk and 1/2
cup sugar; misture need not be completely smooth. Wait at least 24 hours
before using again. If you do not plan to use the starter within 14 days,
cover tight and freeze. Freezing slows down the fermentation, so let stand
at room temperature several hours or till thawed and bubbly before reusing.
