Something happens that produces tension and you responds in sinful fear, which increases the tension and produces an even greater fear response. Even more tension is produced with still another fear response greater than before. This cycle can go on, feeling as if it will never end, until panic has overwhelmed you and physical symptoms are in charge rather that sound-mind thinking. The more you try not to fear, the more fearful of the fear you become and the more you feel controlled by it.

INSTRUCTIONS

Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 C. of warm (not hot) milk with 3 tsp. sugar in a
large mixing bowl. Let rest 5 mins. Add butter, 1/2 C. Southern Comfort,
eggs, flour, lemon rind, and vanilla and mix 10-12 minutes with electric
mixer on low speed until blended. This is a straight dough procedure. Allow
the dough to rest for 15 minutes. Refrigerate the dough for 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Return the dough to room temperature. Divide
the dough into 3 even pieces. Roll each section into strands of the same
length and do a 3-way braid, bringing the ends together to form an oval.
>From the underside, insert the doll or bean. Allow the dough to proof in a
warm place for 1 hour.
Mix together 1/4 C water and 1 egg and brush the mixture on the dough. Bake
on a greased pan 20-25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
To make icing, bring water and corn syrup to a boil, add the powdered
sugar. Stir until all sugar is dissolved. Brush this on top of the cooled
cake.
Divide 3/4 oz. of Southern Comfort into 3 equal parts. Add one of each of
the three food colors (green, gold, purple). Stir each into three separate
1/2 Cups of sugar. Stir until color is distributed well into the sugar.
Sprinkle this over the icing in alternating bands.
