We had an evangelist friend who would often say, The ministry would be fun if it weren’t for people! We are all probably tempted to say that about life in general! Life would be fun if it weren’t for people! Why?

Last week I had the urge to make a new recipe, so I went looking for another coffee cake to add to my collection. I found a 1997 Southern Living magazine page neatly folded and tucked into the safety of my recipe box! As I unfolded this treasure, I found two cake recipes waiting to baked! They both looked delicious. The decision as to which I should make was an easy one. As I read the ingredients, I realized that I had everything necessary to make the Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
