Having lost the security of being rooted in the eternal reality of the Word of God, we are looking to busy activity to fill the void that has been created in our lives. And under that bondage to activity we find it difficult to linger with the Word simply for the joy of it. In fact, we may be afraid to stop our busyness lest it expose the shallowness of our lives. So we go on from activity to activity, from project to project. But activity is a dangerous source of fulfillment. Instead of finding our identity, our sense of self-worth, from our relationship with God, we begin to look to success in programs and other earthly indicators of success for our self-worth. But these will never satisfy. This will only enslave us more in our bondage to activity.

This is for the bread machine, but of coarse it may be done by hand, in
which case you will add additional flour to form the desired dough
consistency.
Bring milk to a boil.  Stir in first flour measurement.  Cook over medium
heat until mixture resembles mashed potatoes, stirring constantly.  Remove
from heat and cool to room temperature.
Add all ingredients except the last three, according to manufacturer's
instructions.  Process on normal bread cycle.
At last beep at end of last mixing beep, or at end of first kneading cycle,
add raisins/or nuts, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Cool for at least 30 minutes IN machine.  This firms the bread.
For a more traditional Babka, omit cocoa powder, orange zest.
Add grated lemon zest              1 TBS            1 1/2 TBS
Use raisins (no nuts)
This is pretty with a light chocolate or white glaze on top.
