So the meaning of away from the presence of the Lord does not mean that God is absent in every sense, but in those senses [His love which produces His pleasures forevermore/fullness of joy]. God will be terribly present in another sense. All reality continues to say: In Him we live and move and have our being. And it is still in hell that no one can hide from the Lord or escape the terrible countenance of His anger. So God's power is present in hell as the One who sustains our being and the One who enforces justice and the One who maintains suffering. He is present in all the ways men do not want Him to be present and none of the ways that believers enjoy His presence.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE PIE
FOR THE TOPPING
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
To make the pie: 1) Combine the first measure of flour, salt and shortening
using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir
in the water a little at a time, using a fork, and form the dough into a
ball. 2)      Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured board. Roll to
an 11" or 12" diameter and fit into a 9" pie pan fluting the edges. 3)
Combine the sugar, the second measure of flour, the cinnamon, the nutmeg
and the lemon juice in a large bowl then toss the apple slices in the
mixture and arrange them in the pie crust.
To make the topping: 4) Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and cut in
the butter using a pastry cutter then sprinkle the topping over the apple
filling. 5)      Place the pie in the LARGE paper bag and place the paper
bag on a baking sheet and loosely fold the open end of the bag under. Bake
until the apples are tender (50-60 minutes). 6) Carefully remove the pie
from the bag ~ CAUTION: WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE BAG! 7)
Serve warm with generous portions of vanilla ice cream.
