Follow the prophet, to the beat of your own drummer
I posted a little ditty over at Main Street Plaza about making up your own lyrics to Primary songs. Apparently, "Follow the Prophet" is a popular one to alter. Head on over and check out the comments. They're worth a smile.
If you enjoyed this post, I hope you'll check out my new blog.

Great post, Leah! Mark went to Indonesia on his mission, and he cracked up the first time he heard Indonesian kids sing "we thank thee o god for a sunbeam." Even in Indonesian the kids sang sun-BEAM in that high pitched voice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about sunBEAM! ;-) Good times!
While I am all for having fun I would strongly counsel against changing the words of the sacred hymns and songs of the Lords Church.
ReplyDeletePresident Paternoster
You're right, President Paternoster. I'm sorry. It's just that I've been drunk pretty much constantly since leaving the church, and in that state, sometimes it's hard not give way to light mindedness and loud laughter.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Eric and I will sing "Heavenly Father Loves Me," but replace "Heavenly Father" with "Mother Goddess"
ReplyDeleteOr sometimes:
"I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world
Carl Sagan created for me."
Carl would be thrilled, I'm sure.
Sister Leah it is very common for those who leave the church to become depressed and dependant on alcohol. As you have noticed this only leads one to the temptation of loud laughter. Soon you may even find yourself speaking evil of the Lords anointed. It's all downhill from there. I would counsel you to prepare yourself spiritually for the upcoming general conference as a first step in your repentance process.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, my life has been meaningless and empty since leaving the church. The only thing I have to look forward to anymore is buying porn on the Sabbath with the money I save by not paying tithing. And I really, really miss testimony meetings.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know if I can bear to go back and face all those people who offended me. But the church is so obviously and inscrutably true, and deep down, of course I know that. Maybe General Conference will help me find the humility to stop suppressing my testimony. Thank you for your inspired counsel, President!
I will assume (based on the inspiring general conference addresses) that your return to activity and full tithing status will commence this Sabbath. I would like to be the first to congratulate you as you undertake this journey.
ReplyDeleteOh, shoot, that was this last weekend?
ReplyDeleteMy book met on Saturday morning (we took a break from our usual porn and discussed No Man Knows My History) and then we always have an orgy afterward, and well, that lasted the rest of the weekend. I'm afraid I missed Conference. Can you sum up what it was about for me?
