Recipe from Davisfamilyeats.blogspot.com

Fresh Peach Pie

8 to 9 peaches, peeled and sliced (or if your peaches are smaller - like ours that number goes up to about 20)1 baked pie crust

Glaze:

1 1/3 c. sugar

1 1/4 c. cold water

1/3 c. cornstarch

1/8 tsp. salt

1 T. lemon juice

Place sugar and 1/2 cup cold water in saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 3/4 cup cold water. Then gradually add it to the sugar mixture. Cook this over medium heat until it's thick. Add salt, lemon juice and 2 drops yellow food coloring and 1 drop red. (or you can do what we did. Just puree up some of your left over peaches and add them instead of the food coloring. It worked really well - and added some yumminess as well!). Pour the glaze over peaches, mix and pour into your pie crust. Chill in the fridge and enjoy!

"The Freedom To..."

RS Lesson, July 3rd given by Tiara Dominguez

*What is the difference between Freedom From and Freedom To?

"Freedom for most people of the world means “freedom from” the absence of malice or pain or suppression. But the freedom that God means when He deals with us goes one step further. He means “freedom to”—the freedom to act in the dignity of our own choice."

*So through the gospel, our freedom allows us to “learn to overcome all obstacles through obedience, and in so doing we will be blessed with the presence of the Spirit and therefore eventually with achievement. We are beginning to become alive as we take, knowingly, full responsibility for our own life and as we stop blaming circumstances.”

*The Savior is our perfect example of how to utilize our "freedom to."

The Savior was arrested, whipped, and beaten. He was taunted, teased, mocked, and ridiculed. His pain was ignored, laughed at, and unappreciated. And yet, in the midst of such degradation, he still claimed and utilized that basic freedom to determine his response to the situation. At the height of his pain, he chose to view his tormentors, his accusers, and his doubters with tenderness and to forgive them.

So also we, in our own problems, retain at least this one undeniable right—to choose our responses to them!

**Hymn #240--Think about these words and how they apply to our freedoms.

Know This, That Every Soul is Free


Know this, that ev’ry soul is free
To choose his life and what he’ll be;
For this eternal truth is giv’n:
That God will force no man to heav’n.

He’ll call, persuade, direct aright,
And bless with wisdom, love, and light,
In nameless ways be good and kind,
But never force the human mind.

Freedom and reason make us men;
Take these away, what are we then
Mere animals, and just as well
The beasts may think of heav’n or hell.

May we no more our pow’rs abuse,
But ways of truth and goodness choose;
Our God is pleased when we improve
His grace and seek his perfect love.
