NO MORE 90 POUND WEAKLING
Posted on January 2, 2012 with 0 comments
Thanks to the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I have gained weight, which in my case is a good thing. Before I was baptized into the Church I was a six foot one inch tall, 125 pounds weakling that people kicked sand on at the beach. We won’t go into specifics, but trust me, I have gained weight.
My first introduction to the Gospel was so overpowering that it left me light headed. She still does, only now I know it is forever. However, if I don’t stop mindlessly whistling “The High and the Mighty” or “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” my wife tells me eternity could turn out to be a very long time.
But for those of you who are new to this blog, let me assure you I am too. It isn’t that I haven’t written this blog before; it’s just that I haven’t written it about the Gospel before. I’ve skirted all around the issue, exploring music and science and religion themes, but it seems to be time to get serious about The One Man Mormon Blues Band. I mean, I’ve got the name. Let’s play the game.
To begin with let me assure you the name “One Man Mormon Blues Band” is strictly a joke. Everyone knows Mormons don’t get the blues. They are universally happy and positive except when they are bearing testimony when they cry. Seems backwards doesn’t it.
At the end of my first blog for the year 2012, I want to sincerely testify to all you who read this, that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) has brought me more happiness, joy and direction in my life than anything else I can think of. Check in with me occasionally and I will tell you more about what we believe and how it blesses our lives. You can read about other Mormons at http://mormon.org/ and you can read my testimony at http://mormon.org/people/find/text/mccallister/
Thanks for stopping by!
