My Scottish/Welsh ancestors, settled in a lot of the hills and holler's...where I refer to them, 'lovingly', as 'hillbilly's'. They know things about those hills and holler's, hain't no man may know.
What I'm trying to say is, back yonder...many years, we 'rurals' knew a thing or two, and brought it with us, to this 'new land'. We brought a faith, from 'those good old days', and my dear dad used to sing about them.
There is more in their 'gospels' than you know, or than I truly realized...till recently. We may all, wish to thank...the country folk that hung onto their roots, and kept their secret council...never forgetting times gone by...
beyond the river, where they pray.
Amen!
