Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes!

Recipe

You'll Need:

1 cup flour

1 cup oats

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup plain yogurt

2 eggs

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup melted butter (or 3 tablespoons of olive oil)

1 cup chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions:

1. Whisk all dry ingredients, except for chocolate chips, together in a bowl.

2. Whisk all wet ingredients together in another bowl.

3. Whisk dry ingredient mixture into wet mixture until just blended.

4. Fold chocolate chips into batter (have a few for yourself while you do this).

5. Heat skillet over medium heat and melt a thin layer of butter to coat bottom.

6. Add some pancake batter to pan (whatever size you prefer, Moo-Cow makes them big). Cook batter until bubbles form on the top and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook other side until it is also golden brown.

7. Remove from pan and top with preferred pancake topping. Try not to eat too many, they're filling!

HAVE FUN EATING YOUR PANCAKES :^).

ADULT TRUTHS :

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing hurts more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong .

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How in the world are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

Spiritual Superstars
April 6, 2011

Superstars abound in today’s culture. Great soccer players can create such excitement that fans have been known to riot in the bleachers. Popular musicians have fans who stand with adoration throughout entire concerts. And Hollywood celebrities hire bodyguards to protect themselves from adoring stalkers.

The first-century Corinthian believers had become divided over their own “spiritual superstars.” Paul viewed such favoritism as a reflection of the sinful nature in a believer’s unyielded heart. “For when one says, ‘I am of Paul,’ and another, ‘I am of Apollos,’ are you not carnal?” he asked (1 Cor. 3:4).

The apostle’s teaching on how we view Christian leaders puts the topic in a biblical perspective that provides mutual appreciation for those who minister: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (v.6). Each person did his part: Paul had planted spiritual seed through evangelism, and Apollos had watered it with his eloquent Bible teaching. But it was God alone who made the seed of spiritual life grow. He alone is the “superstar.”

We should be careful not to put any Christian leader on a pedestal. Instead, let’s appreciate how God is using a variety of spiritual leaders for His honor and His glory.

 

Lord, give us wisdom. We know it’s good to follow the
example of our godly leaders, but help us not
to think so highly of them that we worship them
instead of You. Amen.

 

Each person has his place in God’s service,
and only God deserves the glory.

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:1-15

When one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? —1 Corinthians 3:4
Bible in a year:
1 Samuel 4-6; Luke 9:1-17

“Matthew 4:4 (King James Version)

4.But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So our part is to learn knowledge of God's Word, and to practice what knowledge and wisdom we have daily.

Sounds easy. Practice.

Hope you can get lots of rest and 'quieten' it quite a bit.
