You really are a hum-dinger!

Another Gordie introduction. The lyrics are from BR5-49's version, and the video is an earlier recording. But you get the idea.

Chorus 1:
Hum-dinger, you're a hum-dinger
You're as plain as yeller' puddin'
You're a hum-dinger
Verse:
You're cute when you're gay and glad
But you're even cuter when you're mad
There ain't no doubt about it
You're a hum-dinger
Fourteen miles outside of town
You told me to quit this hummin' around
But I ain't mad at you 'cause
You're a hum-dinger
Chorus 1

Verse:
You're hair is blonde, but the roots are black
There's bugs a crawlin' on your back
And the boys are chasin' you 'cause
You're a hum-dinger
You're teeth are good, but they look like corn
You're pappy left when you were born
I wish you'd be my girl
You're a hum-dinger
Chorus 1

Verse:
You're feet are wide and flat on the bottom
And speakin' of feet, I'd say you got 'em
Won't you be my gal
You're a hum-dinger
You're eyes are crossed and the color is pink
And I know when you're lookin' at me, I think
Oh, flower from the pasture
You're a hum-dinger
Chorus 2:
Hum-dinger, you're a hum-dinger
You're as sweet as cactus candy
You're a hum-dinger

Verse:
Well, you're hands are rough as an alligator
They could squash a three-pound Irish potater
But I love to sit and hold 'em
You're a hum-dinger
There's a bone stickin' out of your hip
There's a mustache on your dainty lip
Oh, darlin' little maiden
You're a hum-dinger
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
No chord
Mmmmmmmmm, Mmmmm!

This song makes me think of you, sis. I miss you! I hope your body is OK and responds well to the treatments. I'm still praying for you!

This song also reminds me of Shakespeare...

Sonnet 130:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

Love you, bud. Gordon sang this song to me at a ward party...nice, huh? I guess I can't say he's never serenaded me.

Gordon is an old romantic... He's so smooth and sweet and awesome... Taught me everything I know about wooing the women! HA!!

Baptism

Yesterday Ellie was baptized. She turned eight on January 27, 2020, and she made the decision to be baptized. I want to tell you a little bit about Ellie. I have never met a child that is quite like Ellie. She is full of life and fire and joy and light. She knows no fear and is infectious in her passion for life and for goodness and for FUN!!! Above all things, she seeks the joy and fun in life. She is also wickedly clever and funny, she’s a delight to be around and makes everyone feel so good. Because she is happy, she wants everyone else to be happy. I first met sweet Elizabeth in 2018, and on the day I met her she was not feeling well. We decided that a movie would be a fun thing for a sick little girl, so I brought one of my favorites to share with her - The Neverending Story. When I got to the house, I picked her right up. It had been a very long time since I was able to pick up a girl, and she snuggled right into my arms. Her poor sick body was warm, but I was more impressed ...

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...

Lucky!

So Tomorrow is Amie's birthday. The 12 th is Andy's. The 14 th is Alex's. And the 26 th is mom's. Happy birthday everyone. I recently found that a member of our ward has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a survivability rate of less than 5% and you never, ever kick it, even if you live. Once diagnosed, people are expected to live about six months. My wife and I were talking about this wonderful woman. There are very few (too few) people in this world who shine. Literally. This sister shines with a light that is perceptible and discernible . The world will literally be a darker place without her in it. Life is short, folks. Too short for hard feelings, too short for pain and misunderstanding. I love you all so much. Sorry this one is such a downer... I don't mean to be lugubrious on your birthdays... I consider myself lucky to be your brother. You have and continue to bless me and my family in many ways, for which I will be eternally gra...
