God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I believe the greatest way to overcome addictions is with a greater desire. Addictions are a problem of passion. The problem is not with the passion itself. The problem is with the object our passion calls us to pursue. So why does our passion cause us to run to an idol? Because we believe that idol is most attractive. The power to change is available in Christ, yet we don’t go there because the pleasure of the idol seems more desirous that Christ. However, if we can see Jesus Christ as more satisfying - which He is, we will never pursue another idol again in our lives.

INSTRUCTIONS
ICING
Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder & salt. Stir in the
apricots & nuts. Add the syrup. Stir until the mixture forms a thick
batter.
Spread the batter into a lightly oiled 8" X 8" baking pan (it is hard work,
but it will cover -- trust me!). Bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or until
the bars test done. Allow to cool slightly, cut into bars. When completely
cool, spread with icing & drizzle some melted chocolate over the top if
desired.
ICING: Cream together sugar & shortening. Add remaining ingredients & beat
until smooth. Makes 1/2 cup.
