The twentieth century was the century of the self. Almost all virtues, especially love, were reinterpreted to put the self at the center. This means that almost all people are saturated and shaped with the conviction that the essence of being loved as a human is being treasured or esteemed. That is, you love me to the degree that your act of treasuring terminates on me… If they ask, “Do you treasure me or do you treasure Christ?” I answer, “I treasure Christ, and, desiring to treasure Him more, I treasure your treasuring Christ.” Without the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit removing human self from the center, this will not satisfy American people. They are so saturated with self-oriented love that they can scarcely conceive what true Christian love is. True Christian love is not my making much of them, but my helping them to enjoy making much of God. This is love. If my treasuring terminates on them I play right into the hands of the devil and their own self-centered destruction. But if my treasuring terminates on God and their treasuring God, then I direct them to the one source of all joy. And that act of directing them to God, their hope and life and joy, is what love is.

1	lg	Green baking apple

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Peel zucchini, cut lengthwise, remove seed and
cut as you would for apple pie. Cook in boiling water until BARELY tender
(about 2-3 minutes--however, I microwave for about a minute or two in a
casserole dish), but DO NOT over-cook. Drain. Cool in ice water for 5
minutes then drain again. Pare and slice apple. Mix zucchini and apple
together with rest of ingredients. Pour into prepared crust. Dot with
butter or margarine. Cover with the top crust and crimp the edges to seal.
Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling
is bubbly.  If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover it with pieces
of foil or take an aluminum (throw-away type), cut out the middle and place
the cut-out edge over the crust edge of the pie.
