We can build Godlike character only upon the foundation of a whole-hearted devotion to God. God must be the very focal point of our lives if we wish to have godly character and conduct. This point cannot be overemphasized. Too many of us focus on the outward structure of character and conduct without taking the time to build the inward foundation of devotion to God. This often results in a cold morality or legalism, or even worse, self-righteousness and spiritual pride… Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is a combination of one given to me by the Santa Fe School of
Cooking and one tasted at the Border Grill in Los Angeles.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Tear bread
into bite-sized pieces and place in baking dish.
Toast in oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, over medium high heat, stir the
sugar continuously in a saucepan until it melts and turns a light caramel
color. Immediately add the water and apple juice.
Be careful; the caramel will bubble and splatter. Do not bend over the pan
when you do this! The caramel will partially solidify but will liquefy
again as you heat it. Add the butter and raisins. When caramel is
completely liquefied, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour mixture over the bread pieces in the baking dish. Make sure all of the
bread is well soaked with caramel. Place tablespoons of the cream cheese
throughout the bread. Sprinkle the top with pecans and cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 to 26 minutes, or until all but a little of
the caramel at the bottom of the dish is ab sorbed.
Lightly whip the cream. Add the sugar and vanilla. Serve the pudding warm
with the sweetened cream.
Note: You may add a peeled, chopped apple or pear to the pudding before it
is baked.
