God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Uncertainty as to our relationship with God is one of the most enfeebling and dispiriting of things. It makes a man heartless. It takes the pith out of him. He cannot fight; he cannot run. He is easily dismayed and gives way. He can do nothing for God. But when we know that we are of God, we are vigorous, brave, invincible. There is no more quickening truth than this of assurance.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine apricots & brandy; cover and refrigerate overnight. Cream
shortening; gradually add sugar and beating well. Add egg, and mix well.
Combine one cup flour with baking soda, spices, and salt; set aside. Add
pecans to apricot mixture; combine with reserved flour mixture. Toss well
to coat all pieces with flour; set aside. Add remaining one cup flour to
shortening/sugar mixture alternating with applesauce, (beginning and ending
with flour mixture). Stir in reserved apricot mixture. Pour into a greased
9 x 5 x 3 loafpan; bake at 350 deg. for 1 hour and 15 min. or until
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool loaf in pan for 10
minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Yield: 1
loaf. Notes: May be frozen up to 3 months. This is more of a sweet cake
than a bread. May be wrapped in cheeecake and soaked with additional brandy
and stored in a tin, if desired. Judy Garnett
