God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I have never been able to see that creation necessarily implies fatherhood. I believe God has made many things that are not His children. Did He not make the heavens and the earth, the sea and the fullness thereof and are they His children? You say these are not rational and intelligent beings; but He made the angels, who stand in an eminently high and holy position, are they His children? "Unto which of the angels said He at any time, you are My son?" I do not find, as a rule, that angels are called the children of God; and I must demur to the idea that mere creation brings God necessarily into the relationship of a Father.
There is nothing which shows our ignorance so much as our impatience under trouble. We forget that every cross is a message from God, and intended to do us good in the end. Trials are intended to make us think – to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees. Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God. Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ. Anything, anything is better than living in carelessness, and dying in sin.

INSTRUCTIONS
CRUST
TOPPING
To make crust: In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast
and salt. Heat butter, milk, and water until very warm (120 to 130°F).
Butter does not need to melt. Gradually stir into dry ingredients. Stir in
eggs and remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead 5 minutes. (Dough will
be buttery; do not add additional flour.) With floured hands, press dough
to form 12-inch circle on lightly greased pizza pan or cookie sheet. Cover;
let rest 30 minutes.
To make topping: In small bowl, combine sugar and flour. Gradually add
cream and Calvados; stir until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Form 3/4-inch high rim along edge of dough. Arrange apples on dough,
overlapping slightly; carefully spoon cream mixture over top. Bake on
middle oven rack 18 to 22 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples
are almost tender. Remove from pan; place on wire rack to cool slightly.
Spread apricot preserves over top.
Notes: Makes 1 (12-inch) pizza
