Here’s some old Jim Reeves Oldies.
I often feel this way about the trials of my church:
THE BLIZZARD
See Music Sampler at: http://www.pandora.com/music/song/jim+reeves/blizzard
There's a blizzard comin' on. How I'm wishin' I was home,
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand.
Listen to that norther sigh. If we don't get home we'll die,
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne.
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne.
You can bet we're on her mind. For it's nearly suppertime.
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan.
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze, and there's a numbness in my toes
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Anne.
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne.
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams,
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can.
Dan just think about that barn, with that hay so soft and warm.
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne.
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne.
Dan get up you ornery cuss, or you'll be the death of us.
I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can.
All right Dan, perhaps it's best that we stop awhile and rest.
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne.
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne.
Late that night the storm was gone, and they found him there at dawn.
He'd a made it, but he couldn't leave ol' Dan.
Yes, they found him there on the plains, his hands frozed to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne.
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne.
Anna was a prophetess (Luke 2:36): The Hebrew is Alyah (“Strength: all is the Lord’s”). This is the sum of the FLDS Church and all that it believes and does. We marry ann, Alyah, the Lord, as a whole.
