Its a beautiful hymn, written by Eliza R. Snow
This Eliza Snow?
The same one who was married to Joseph as one of his plural wives? The one that Emma Smith beat with a broomstick and then kicked down a flight of stairs? The one who miscarried Joseph's baby as a result of Emma's battery? The one who was barren thereafter despite being frequently visited by Joseph and then later by Brigham after she became one of his plural wives? The one who was sealed for time and all eternity to both prophets? The one whose brother Lorenzo became an LDS prophet and coined that famous couplet that embarrasses Saints that deny its existence until you read it directly from the lds.com website ... the one that goes, "As man now is, god once was. As god now is, man may become."
That Eliza Snow?
Let's personalize this mainstream Lds doctrine...Mormons really do believe the following:
"As Mitt Romney now is, god once was. As god now is, Mitt Romney may become."
And...
"As Harry Reid now is, god once was. As god now is, Harry Reid an official Mormon visiting home teacher may become."
Yeah.
Like I said.
Wait til the Dems run with this & with a whole lot more media wattage & $-firepower behind them!
