Pray Thee Well

Mormons converged on Great Salt Lake To consecrate their Lord's mistake But found they could float As well as a boat Though prayers looked more like patty-cake

Have not been to Salt Lake but have heard that you can float in it!

Even Mormons don't add it to their bucket list . . . .

hmmm, not sure exactly what this means, but I can get the gist. Did you ever hear the miracle of the sea gulls. It was one of my favorite stories about the mormons here. I grew up Mormon. A lot of them are really nice people. i do not like what has become of the church in the past few years.

I deal with Mormons every day who write bios elevating their ancestors to aristocrats and/or saints, then set about destroying documents, gedcoms, and generations which contradict their fantasy. Like many religious people, they seem to believe they can hoodwink their god as easily as they do their fellowman. Aloha!
