Something of Community

Strange is our situation here on earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, but sometimes seeming to a Diving purpose. There is one thing we do know definitively: that we are here for the sake of each other. Many times a day I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labor of others, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received and am still receiving.

Famous Caramel Rolls Recipe

This morning I was pleased to try the Carmel Pecan Rolls at Community Breakfast, and boy were they good!  I went to see if I could track down the recipe, or if it was a secret.  Well, the secret's out!  Here it is for your enjoyment on mornings that don't begin with "M". ;)
