Common morality can be explained without developing an elaborate theory; it is simply part of the structure of our human natures, who we are as God made us. Therefore, an ethic based upon the Golden Rule alone or a God-given moral sense is not truly virtuous in itself. This is so because a moral act done apart from a transcendent object – love for God and His beauty – is a false morality. It is impossible to have a divinely sanctioned morality if God is not the object of and motive for it.

INGREDIENTS

1	pk	Active dry yeast
1/2	c	Low-fat or regular eggnog,
		Heated to 105 to 115 degrees
2	c	Bread flour (to 2 1/4c)
1	ts	Ground cardamom

1	lg	Egg yolk
4	tb	Unsalted butter, softened
1/3	c	Dried currants or raisins
1/3	c	Chopped candied fruit & rind
		Confectioners' sugar glaze

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine yeast and eggnog in the bucket of a bread machine, stirring to
dissolve yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup flour.
Begin dough cycle, letting it run just long enough to mix dough. Stop cycle
and  leave mixture in bucket, covered, until it is light and puffy, about 1
hour.
2. Add 1 cup of the remaining flour, the cardamom, salt, egg, egg yolk and
butter. Begin dough cycle. After dough is mixed and as it is still
kneading,  check the texture of the dough and add additional flour as
needed, to make a  soft, slightly sticky dough. Add currants and fruit as
indicated in  instruction manual. Complete dough cycle. When bread is cool,
glaze if  desired.
Note: If you prefer a traditional shape, the dough can be removed from the
bread machine after the rising cycle. Shape dough into an oval, place it on
a  greased baking sheet, cover and let rise at room temperature for about
40  minutes. Brush the loaf with a glaze made from an egg yolk mixed with 1
tablespoon whipping cream; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in a heated 325
degree oven until golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
