Man’s happiness was never meant to be determined by his circumstances, and that is the fatal blunder that we all tend to make… Man’s happiness depends on one thing only – and that is his relationship to God!... We cannot get it anywhere else. We must come back to the soul and to God who made it. We were made for Him, we are meant for Him, we have a correspondence with Him, and we will never come to rest until, like that needle on the compass, we strike that northern point, and there we come to rest – nowhere else.

times with fork. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool.
To prepare topping: Microwave caramels and milk in microwaveable
bowl on high (100 % power) 2 - 3 minutes, until smooth, stirring
