Miss Kim added, “Approximately 12 to 15 people have taken that course and joined.” There were just two couples in St. Louis, so what an occasion this was for them. To meet any members would have been a joy, but they began by meeting Father himself! In the midst of some cedar trees of Forest Park, the cold wind cut through their coats, and their fingers and toes soon felt frozen. Father paced off the holy ground a little faster than before. The four Missouri members were amazed to notice how completely Father focused on what he was doing. “He wore no gloves or boots, and he didn’t shiver from the cold,” they report- ed, “and his shoes didn’t even seem to get wet.”

Heading back South, the little band of travelers looked forward to leaving the snow and ice behind. There was- n’t time to drive to Kentucky’s capital city, so they just drove into the west- ern tip of Kentucky where snow still covered the ground and blessed ground in Paducah. Quickly, they pressed on to Tennessee. When they reached Memphis, Ten- nessee, it was already dark. In heavi- ly wooded Overton Park, they groped their way with flashlights through the pitch blackness and slushy melting snow.

THE START

What about the end of time? And what about the start? How do we learn we have the dregs? How do we find the very best part?

The book of knowledge, the book of nonsense Are side by side on the library shelf. I find myself indulging in these, I’m a very inquisitive elf!

The times I start to finish The things I have begun Are lessons on the way to The winnish I have won.

Take her feet and put them down She’s locked into a coma Take her hand and treat her nice She’s on her way to home-a.

The first ten classes Taken out of the masses Were truly a very good start

Now’s the time to stop just starting Go middle and finish with heart!

Too many streets to travel down Is like a time to go round and round And see your very own town.

Imagination is funny It makes the bees think of honey It makes me want to be funny all the time!

Now seriousness and aptitude Prevail my very attitude For zillions of years are in the works. Our loving creator and all you see Will find us together...you and me!
