Name: The Famous Bacardi Rum Cake
Ingredients: -MARY WILSON BWVB02B; 1 c Pecan or walnuts chopped; 1 pk Yellow cake mix* (18 1/2 oz); 1 pk Jell-O Vanilla Instant* Pudding and Pie Filling (3 1/4 oz); 4 Eggs; 1/2 c Cold water; 1/2 c Wesson oil; 1/2 c Bacardi dark rum (80 proof); 1/4 lb Butter; 1/4 c Water; 1/2 c Bacardi dark rum (80 proof)

Just as there are no ultimate tragedies for the believer, so for the impenitent unbeliever there are no ultimate blessings. Every good gift God bestows upon the wicked, for which the wicked do not glorify God or acknowledge His goodness with gratitude and worship, becomes a tragedy. The more gifts God gives that are despised by the recipient, the more guilt is incurred, so that, to the wicked, on Judgment Day the gifts of God’s kindness become tragedies.
