That apple must hold a very dear place in your heart. I can imagine it must represent a fond memory—perhaps of some treasured memory that makes you smile. I’ll bet you have an apple hanging on your wall for that very reason and think of that memory every time you see it.

That’s kind of like Catholics who have portraits or medals of Mary. She gave her consent to an Angel in the Gospel of Luke to be the Mother of the Christ. Her consent was a Latin “fiat,” “be it done.” How beautiful! Nothing more!

Actually, when I was traveling across the country doing programing work, I drove a blue Honda Civic. A trucker behind me once said the Civic looked like an apple, with the antenna on top.

Blueapple was my CB call sign. I use the apple graphic becasue there is no such thing as a blue apple. I do not have a statue of an apple which I worship and contribute coins to.
