Shall we gather at the river... Hymn #365
This is a hoot, but I suspect the minister didn't appreciate it.
A minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great emphasis he said,
'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'
With even greater emphasis he said, 'and if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, 'and if I had all the whiskey in the world,I'd take it and pour it into the river.' Sermon complete, he sat down…
The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, and nearly laughing,
'for our closing hymn, let us sing Hymn #365
'Shall We Gather at the River.'

What's up here?
In Michigan we refer going to the Upper Peninsula as the UP. So when I ran across this little bit about UP, I was thinking something else.
So here goes …
There is a two-letter word in the English language that, perhaps, has more meanings than any other two-letter word. That word is UP. It is shown in the dictionary being used as an adverb, preposition, adjective, noun or verb. It’s easy to understand UP meaning toward the sky, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are officers UP for election? Why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends and brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP old cars.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
This UP is confusing ~ a drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning, and then we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
In order to be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, you should look UP the word in a dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 25% of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for a while, things dry UP.
I could go on and one, but I’ll wrap UP as my time is UP. Time to shut UP!
Oh, can’t overlook this ~ what is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P!
((hugs))
and just for you a

We have been sitting outside most every night this week, with a bonfire going to add to the ambience, and warm the area a bit, but actually we didn't need the fire for heat, just the glow of the fire ~ it is so nice.
I am so enjoying having another great visit here in the Des Moines area with friends ~ it is very nice!
I'll see y'all in tblog land in a bit as we have some more fun things to do while I am here.
((hugs))
* what are the rest of you doing for fun?
