    "Adam-ondi-Ahman"

    I am sitting at my computer catching up on some work and just for grins put in a Tab Choir album called "Praise to the Man," which I hadn't heard before. It must have come out in 2005 on the bicentennial of Joseph Smith's birth. Anyway, there are some very nice pieces on this CD. Mack Wilberg's gotten more out of the Choir than I ever thought possible.

    For example, they do a really lovely rendition of "Adam-ondi-Ahman." Really fun to listen to, if you love sacred choral music. It is one of those hymns that members of fairly long standing love. Might not be so great for an investigator!

    That is what gets stuck in my head every time I hear mention of Adam-ondi-Ahman.

        That is what I remember it looking like 30+ years ago when my family stopped to see it while on a vacation. Except there was no sign - it had been burned by vandals just before we were there.

          It's likely that, as of right now, I'm standing in what was once the Garden of Eden. How cool is that?!?!

            The Garden must have been beautiful. Today as I was driving through the Oregon Countryside, my heart was full from the sheer beauty of a bounteous field ready for harvest. I'm sure we all live in nice places, but I have to say, Oregon summers have to be right up there with anywhere in the world.

              I like the hymn a lot.

                    Dallas' only redeeming quality is that amazing interstate interchange that I drove through last night.

                            Yeah, it seems like an whole other country when you live way out in BFE, TX.

                              Arlington is in a whole other county to both of us [Tarrant vs Dallas or Collin counties]. You can reach Cowboys Stadium maybe 15 minutes sooner than I can. I admit your'e much closer to downtown Dallas but I've had few reasons to go there in all my years in the Metroplex. I was ready to jump to your defense of Moliere's comment about "Dallas' only redeeming quality is that amazing interstate interchange that I drove through last night". Until I realized he might be right. Not that Houston is any better....
