I can remember when I was an undergraduate student, how enlightening it was to learn from William Temple that what the Bible means by sin is "self-centeredness." Let me tell you how Temple puts it in his great little book, Christianity in the Social Order. He says, "I am the center of the world I see. And where the horizon is depends on where I stand. Education may make my self-centeredness less disastrous by broadening my horizon of vision. It's like a man climbing a tower who sees further in terms of physical vision while remaining himself the center and the standard of reference. I am the center of the world I see." That's what the Bible means by sin. Luther talks about man curved in on himself. Malcolm Muggeridge talks about the dark little dungeon of my own ego. That is sin, a twist of self-centeredness that has us imprisoned. But God's order is that we love him with all our being, and then that we love our neighbor and put ourselves last. Sin is the reversal of the order.

This is another recipe sent to me in a flyer trying to get me to buy a
Pillsbury cookbook.
Adapted from several apple pie recipes, this elegant tart is a delicious
contemporary variation.
Prepare pie crust according to package directions for two-crust pie using
10-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. Place 1 prepared
crust in pan; press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary.
Heat oven to 400 F. Place cookie sheet in oven to preheat. In large bowl,
combine apples, sugar, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, lemon peel and 2
teaspoons lemon juice; toss lightly to coat. Spoon into crust-lined pan.
To make lattice top, cut second crust into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange
strips in lattice design over filling. Trim and seal edges. In small bowl,
combine egg yolk and water; gently brush over lattice.
Place tart on preheated cookie sheet. Bake at 400 F. for 40 to 60 minutes
or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust
with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive
browning. Cool 1 hour.
In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients, adding enough lemon juice for
desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over slightly warm tart. Cool;
remove sides of pan.
