God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually. When Paul talked about making his body his slave, so that after having preached to others he himself would not be disqualified, he was not thinking about physical disqualification, but spiritual. He knew well that physical softness inevitably leads to spiritual softness. When the body is pampered and indulged, the instincts and passions of the body tend to get the upper hand and dominate our thoughts and actions. We tend to do not what we should do, but what we want to do, as we follow the craving of our sinful nature.
With a mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Add 4 eggs, one
at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour.
Spread batter evenly in a 9 by 13 inch pan.
Mix apricots with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange fruit,
cut side up, in batter.
In a bowl, mix remaining sugar with cornstarch, add sour cream, remaining
eggs, and vanilla; beat until blended. Pour over apricots.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until cake surrounding apricots in the center is
firm when gently pressed, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool at least 30
minutes; serve warm or cool. NOTES
: I have used my frozen apricots and it works well.
