Another way to determine true masculinity is to look to Jesus Christ. He is the perfect example of manhood. He showed us that real men are gentle and tender, especially with women and children. He showed us it is okay for real men to cry. He showed us that real men stay under control, but also demonstrate righteous anger. He showed us a real man is concerned with protecting the purity and innocence of others. He showed us a real man has the strength to resist the temptations of the world. He showed us how real men are men who take the initiative. And He showed us that real men are humble when the Lord Himself washed the disciples’ feet. Jesus Christ is our example of masculinity. And it is the awareness of our shortcomings in this area that drives us to Him for forgiveness and strength to rightly fulfill our responsibilities.

INSTRUCTIONS

ICE CREAM
PEARS
For Ice Cream:
Melt butter in heavy 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add sugar and
cook until sugar melts (mixture will be grainy for first 10 to 12 minutes)
and turns deep amber, stirring occasionally and pressing on sugar lumps to
break up, about 20 minutes. Add pears (caramel will bubble and harden).
Increase heat to medium-high and boil until liquid thickens and pears are
very tender, breaking up large pieces of caramel and stirring occasionally,
about 14 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender.
Beat yolks to blend in medium bowl. Bring cream to boil in heavy medium
saucepan. Gradually whisk hot cream into yolks. Return cream mixture to
same saucepan. Stir over low heat until custard thickens slightly and
leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 2 minutes;
do not boil. Immediately add to pear mixture in blender. Add brandy if
desired. Blend until smooth. Cover custard and refrigerate until well
chilled.
Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's
instructions. Freeze ice cream until firm. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead.
Keep frozen.)
For Pears:
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sugar and cook
