Truth renews the mind. Indeed, the truth which would affect the heart, which moves the heart, which changes the heart, must first enter through the vestibule of the mind if it would enter the sanctuary of the heart. The intention of truth preached is to affect the emotions and the will and the heart and the whole of our humanity…and thus preaching must come first through the mind. It makes its appeal through the mind; it enters through the mind – but it doesn’t simply stop with the mind.

INGREDIENTS

3	c	All-purpose flour
2	c	Whole wheat flour
2	ts	Baking soda
1	tb	Baking powder
2	tb	Brown sugar
2 1/4	c	Buttermilk

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl
and mix very well, being very careful to break up any lumps of brown sugar.
Pour all of the buttermilk into the bowl at once and stir, using a wooden
spoon, just until a soft dough is formed. Do not try to make it smooth at
this point. Pour the contents of the bowl out onto a plastic counter and
knead for a minute or so until everything comes together. Divide thedough
into 2 portions and shape each into a round loaf, pressing the top down a
bit to just barely flatten it. Place the loaves on a large ungreased baking
sheet. Sprinkle some additional flour on top of each loaf and, using a
sharp paring knife, make the sign of the Cross in slashes on the top of
each. Bake for about 45 minutes or until brown and crunchy. Cool on racks.
