Here are recipes from our wonderful  Fellowship Sunday breakfast, from our own Sarah West:

cream scones (i added 1/2 c. of apricots and pine nuts) from baking illustrated
Ingredients:
2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, preferably a
lower-protein brand, such as Gold Medal or Pillsbury
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup dried fruit or nuts
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to
425°F (220°C).
2. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl or
the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Whisk
together or process with six 1-second pulses.
3. If making by hand, use two knives, a pastry blender, or your
fingertips and quickly cut in the butter until the mixture resembles
coarse meal with a few slightly larger butter lumps. If using a food
processor, remove the cover and distribute the butter evenly over the
dry ingredients. Cover and process with twelve 1-second pulses. Add
the currants and quickly mix in or pulse one more time. Transfer the
dough to a large bowl.
4. Stir in the heavy cream with a rubber spatula or fork until the
dough begins to form, about 30 seconds.
5. Transfer the dough and all dry flour bits to a countertop and knead
the dough by hand just until it comes together into a rough, slightly
sticky ball, 5 to 10 seconds. Press the dough into an 8-inch cake pan,
then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work-surface. With a
sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the
wedges on an ungreased baking sheet. (The baking sheet can be wrapped
in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before baking.)
6. Bake until the scone tops are light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool
on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room
temperature.

ONE OF THE LOVELIEST OF THE PSALMS IS Psalm 103. Here are several of its themes:

(1) “The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love” (Ps. 103:8). That truth is often expressed in the Old Testament. For example, when the Lord passes before Moses while the latter is hiding in a cleft in the rock, he intones, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness …” (Ex. 34:6). Yet that is not the impression that many readers of the Old Testament have of God. Somehow they think he runs on a short fuse, never very far off from an outburst that can wipe out a nation or two. Why do they have that impression?

Probably in part because they do not read the Old Testament very closely. Or perhaps they read the Old Testament impressionistically: there are all those passages in the prophets where the Lord is threatening judgment, and they can leave a sour taste and a smell of sulfur. But should we not see the Lord’s mercy in them? He delays judgment, which may be postponed for years or even decades. On the first signs of genuine repentance, he turns from wrath, for the Lord is “slow to anger, abounding in love.” Strict justice would be immediate—an easy thing for Omniscience! The truth is that God “does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities” (Ps. 103:10).

(2) “As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust” (Ps. 103:13–14). It is almost as if this God is looking for reasons to be as forbearing as possible. But it is also true that a human father is likely to be far more compassionate and forbearing with a son or daughter who “fears” him and basically respects him. Then each confusion or failure or mistake is likely to be treated with more forbearance than the conduct of the son or daughter who is profoundly anarchic. In any case, this heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves. Who better than he can tell us what we are made of?

(3) In our guilt before a holy God, what we need most is to be forgiven all our sins (Ps. 103:3), to have them removed far from us: “as far as the east is from the west [a distance without limit, unlike north to south], so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Ps. 103:12). With that assurance, all other blessings of any worth will one day be ours; without the forgiveness of sins, any other blessing we have received is worse than worthless: it may be deceptive.
