I believe that everybody having an interest in this matter should sing those specific hymns right now as best they can.
The only hymns that are missing are that of Amazing Grace, When We All Get to Heaven, It is Well With My Soul
One needs to understand the story behind the origin of that last hymn to truly appreciate its impact.
I know that...I was kidding...
I know the origin...she wrote the hymn after her husband drown...correct?
I'm going to refrain from explaining to you slush and what not. I'm also going to refrain from explaining anything pertaining to my crack-addict father standing there, looking at me lying in the slush because my legs gave out in the muck.
Your comments are understood to be emminently to be humorous, if not then I need more beer.
Nevertheless, the situation that I described did occure. I'll never forget that foggy, drizzly day, and the expression on Dad's face at how helpless he was, and how impotent I was lying in the muck.
It was too early in his recovery for him, and I'd not learned sufficient compassion yet. How much does compassion cost? I found out it costs a lot if one has a great deal of invested interest.
ah..er...ah that was interesting RG...LOL.
After we do that I will take on a small lil mountain named Mt. Washington...its about 6000 feet up...no biggie. :)

As long as they're playing Schubert up and down the slopes...

They're talking about James Kim on Greta now.
I know what you're saying, a friend tricked me into skiing down Dave's Run at Mammot. That was many years ago, but it did make a much better skier out of me, though I never sought out black diamonds if I could help it, especially after I screwed up my knee.
Thanks, just changed to CNN
You should come up to the GM ski club learn how to ski better clinic. I'll tell you 'bout your knee.
Either you needed to know that, or your toying with me, and blew your knew out racing for the U.S. Olympic team. Hu-ah!
Can you share what they are saying? I'm cableless!
I'm too old to worry about it, now... but I admit I do miss skiing sometimes. We used to go to Mammoth every year between Christmas and New Years and then again in March for a week.
I would worry about them too. From this ordeal, I don't think I'm going to go mountainbike riding in the winter anymore. Not alone anyway. :/ I've realized just how stupid I have been.
It's supposed to be on Anderson Cooper's blog. I'm looking for it now.
No. Why? (BTW, have a bad cold and headed to bed now, I'll look for your reply in the morning)...
