Place dish in oven and bake for 20 minutes, lower temp to 300° and bake another 20 minutes. Bread pudding should be puffy and brown. If necessary, bake longer. Pecan-Rum Sauce: Scald cream in a heavy-bottom saucepan until it comes to a simmer. Don't let it boil. Add sugar and rum and whip until sugar is dissolved.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
