Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful, with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my seventy five years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence, has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained... This, of course, is what the Cross signifies. And it is the Cross, more than anything else, that has called me inexorably to Christ.

Winner Shere Case of Hickory Hills describes her cookie entry: "Holiday
preparation usually starts in September and continues until the night
before Christmas.  I have been doing this for almost 18 years, and each
year I add more recipes. This particular cookie, passed on to me by my
sister- in-law, Diana Forkash of Wisconsin, ranks among the favorites of
the family and friends. It looks absolutely gorgeous on a plate, tastes
wonderful and is  absolutely the easiest thing to make. There is no baking
time involved, and you can sit down on the job and enjoy doing them."
