PEACH DUMP CAKE

 Simply "dump" in the ingredients in a 9x13 casserole dish in the following order:

2 large cans of peach pie filling (20 oz)

1 box yellow cake mix
2 melted sticks of butter
1/2 cup pecans
tsp. cinnamon sprinkled on top

 Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.  It's very simple & perfect for potlucks.

THINK ABOUT IT…

     Don’t count the things you have to do,
Do the things that count!

The task ahead of us is never as
great as the Power behind us.

------------------------------

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you.

1.     Jesus Christ         

2.     The American GI

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom
