On the funny side, a few years ago found some old family photos. One leg of ancestors lived in southern Iowa. One photo of five brothers was marked the mormon brothers, Semple family. Got excited I could go to a Mormon library and find all kinds of genealogy. Well the five brothers lived near the Mormon trail, but never were mormon. Lol, Scots-Irish with lots of dead ends and hard to trace.
Thank you for good info. Ended up they were not Mormon. This line was part of a western PA group who went to IA during land grands. The records in PA are worse than IA. Being they were of Scottish decent they were not regarded in the Philly, PA elite as worth recording info about. Between courthouse fires and defunked churches recorded are just not around. My fortunate findings was a very old family Bible, a couple letters and photos, most unmarked. Thank goodness my one great grandfather and a paternal cousin OD’d some photos.
We need as much as possible to keep us through the battles ahead, because anyone who thinks things have stopped or moved on is not facing reality, as they will never stop.
It reminds me of the orchestra on the Titanic playing while the ship was going down. We need to get serious about EVERYONE'S suffering and predicament on the Planet, especially those of the children--as Catholics fail the Holy Land as well:
The choir is amazing; the voices, transporting. A call to joy is what we need. Still... No discussion or thoughts as to why the change of name? Another step towards the emerging one world religion that even the (once upon a time Catholic) "Pope" Francis is touting? Just wondering.
A dark wood stereo console- that very recording - and my mother setting the stylus down...
These the the things I am interested in. People remembering the world before, even if it was "an illusion."
Great lyrics !!! Too
you can say that again.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Tis the season and joy you are bringing!

I was SO happy to open my email and see we are continuing the advent tradition.
Thank you!!!
This is the Magic of Christmas ... Beautiful.
Maybe the name changed because they finally realized Mormons are not Christians.

“Forget not joy...”
Love this tradition and like ok forward to it each day of December! Beautiful song.
Still love it after 2 1/2 months of Christmas movies!
Thank you!
Beautiful. In 2013 I have been visiting SLC and then was introduced by one of the regular players to this 11.000 pipes organ.
"No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found…" Amen!!!
