"How Great Thou Art" "How Great Thou Art" is one of my favorite hymns. We sing it often at Olvey Bible Church. Most times I just sing along with everyone else just trying to stay somewhere near the correct key so I don't embarrass myself too badly. But yesterday I began singing the song at home by myself and when I got to the chorus "I really let er rip"!! Luckily I don't have any...

A boy sitting on a rock getting his feet wet in water Admittedly, when I heard dad's whistle I began to cuss. Cussing was an art form to us boys and I could hold my own with any of em'.

A small child imagines himself to be an astronaut in an astronaut's helmet. Isn't it funny how fate works? I remember my 4th birthday like it was yesterday. Is it weird that I can remember 64 years ago better than last week? Although I was born and raised in Memphis my 4th birthday party took place 52 stories high in Chicago.
