Sub-hymn-inal

Annette sent me this e mail and I decided it was good enough to post. Very funny...very true!

Oh...Happy Birthday Annette!!

"Subliminal Hymns"

As Latter Day Saint women, we are practically obsessed with anxiously engaging ourselves in good causes...maybe it's subliminal.

Glancing through the hymnal last Sunday I noted that as sisters in Zion, we who are called to serve are all enlisted to go marching marching forward because the world has need of willing men to all press on scattering sunshine. We wonder if we have done any good in the world today because we have been given much and want to do what is right, keep the commandments, press forward with the saints, choose the right and put our shoulders to the wheel, going where he wants us to go. However, as the morning breaks high on the mountain top, truth reflects upon our senses, and while we still believe that sweet is the work, we also realize that we have work enough to do ere the sun goes down. Thus we ask ere we part, where can we turn for peace?

Anyone else need a nap???

Annette shared this with me too, and I had a good laugh. I told her she should put it on her blog, but haven't seen it so I'm glad you did! :)
