In the days of hardship, particularly persecution, those who are in the process of becoming Christians count the cost of discipleship carefully before taking up the cross of the Nazarene. Preachers do not beguile them with false promises of an easy life or indulgence of sins. But in good times, the cost does not seem so high, and people take the name of Christ without undergoing the radical transformation of life that true conversion implies.

INSTRUCTIONS

These are two favorite recipes from Bea Ojakangas' "Light Muffins-Over 60
Recipes for Sweet and Savory Low Fat Muffins & Spreads".
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with PAM . In a
large bowl, thoroughly mix the the rolled oats with the whole wheat flour,
brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Add the blueberries
if using, and stir gently until they are distributed evenly in the
mixture.. In a small bowl, stir together the milk, banana, oil and egg or
substitute until blended. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and
stir until just moistened, about 20 strokes. Spoon batter into the muffin
cups, dividing evenly. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes , or until a wooden
toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 3 minutes, then to rack or
table. Makes 12 muffins, per muffin 154 calories (21% from fat) 3 g. fat,3

*I have not used blueberries in my making but without this is a dense,
flavorful muffin, great for a quick breakfast.
** I use Egg Beaters which would reduce the fat content somewhat.

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
