Bread Pudding With Rum Sauce

When thoughts or inclinations contrary to the will and ways of God creep in, many dear Christians mistake these miserable orphans for their own children, and take upon themselves the full responsibility for these carnal passions. So deftly does the devil slip his own thoughts into the saints’ bosom that by the time they begin to whimper, he is already out of sight. And the Christian, seeing no one but himself at home, supposes these misbegotten notions are his own. So he bears the shame himself, and Satan has accomplished his purpose.

toss gently. Let mixture stand 1 hour.  Spoon mixture into a 10 x
7-inch baking dish coated with cooking  spray. Bake at 350 degrees for
