I can't remember if "Little Purple Pansies" is still a Primary song these days, but when I was a teenager, one of the littlest Sunbeams used to sing the lyric this way:<BR/><BR/>"Little purple panties,<BR/>Touched with yellow gold . . .

I know it's a few days later, but in the spirit of the Yoohoo era, I submit to you my husband's favorite hymn to hear in Utah only: We'll Sing All Hail (pronounced 'hell') to Jesus' Name. <BR/><BR/>That is all. :)~j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02959570365515658547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141273601244174592006-03-01T21:26:00.000-07:002006-03-01T21:26:00.000-07:00My brother: "I always want to be with my own fami...My brother: "I always want to be with my own family-y-y...<BR/><BR/>...we wish to welcome you to Munchkinland."~j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02959570365515658547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141188974040641832006-02-28T21:56:00.000-07:002006-02-28T21:56:00.000-07:00Ha!

For me as a kid it was such a friendly thought. More like, "Hey, I'm still here! Are you still there? Hi!"Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141185081572807202006-02-28T20:51:00.000-07:002006-02-28T20:51:00.000-07:00I remember the "you-hoo unto Jesus" era and I thou...I remember the "you-hoo unto Jesus" era and I though as a kid that it meant calling on the Savior, as in, "You-hoo, Jesus, need some help over here..." That memory goes right along with "There is sunshine in my soul today/ more glorious than yours."Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981388823737554845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141162235138318132006-02-28T14:30:00.000-07:002006-02-28T14:30:00.000-07:00Jamie: Oh, do get better, you Melinheads!

Little girlies are sweet, but not much real help when both the parents are down with sickness. <BR/><BR/>That's a beautiful remembrance you have connected with that hymn. It's something you can even pass down, a spiritual heirloom. Very dear. I hope in the next life I get a great singing voice. wonder what I have to do right in this life to ensure that that happens?<BR/><BR/>Bluebell: A warm welcome to you! I enjoy reading your blog regularly. Your photos are so lovely too. <BR/><BR/>The change <I>I'm</I> hoping for in the next version of the hymnbook is the return of the line "you who unto Jesus" (from "How Firm A Foundation"! Even though we don't sing it that way anymore, I still laugh when I get to the spot where the old phrase should be ("who unto the Savior"). Maybe you aren't old enough to have enjoyed the yoohoo era.Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141067365143830132006-02-27T12:09:00.000-07:002006-02-27T12:09:00.000-07:00What a beautiful post.

They have become especially meaningful to me over the past several years as our family has waded through increasingly difficult trials. Perhaps in the next edition of the hymnal someone will reverse the order!Bluebellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272036600688099861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-1141013606532263222006-02-26T21:13:00.000-07:002006-02-26T21:13:00.000-07:00Beautiful, beautiful post, Georgia.

I had to miss church today due to much vomitting, and for once, Rich stayed, too, becuase he was up all night with fever, ear ache and cough. ALthough it was nice to snuggle, rest, read, and sing as a family today, I am missing church so much. I have only been three times the whole year doe to pneumonia and the like. I even came up this evening to sing hymns at the piano, I miss it all so much. I just wanted to say that I feel the EXACT same way about "How Firm a Foundation," especially the last verse. I sang it in a trio once when the prophet came to Tucson, and he entered as we were singng. He passed our podium and paused to smile, wave and listen. All of us struggled to keep singing as we got lumps in our throats. I love it not only for the comforting personal message, but also for the fact that it's the song I sang for President Hinckley.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981388823737554845noreply@blogger.com
