Going to Vegas

This week my wife, three daughters, and I will be heading to sunny warm Las Vegas staying in a timeshare type condo with heated pools and nothing to do!  We plan on doing some hikes maybe visiting family in St George, but mostly, sitting on our behinds and being lazy. 

So, to honor our trip to the city where all your dreams come true, I present, "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief."  While the song is about helping others and when we help others it is as if we are helping God, I am very very very loosely interpreting the title because if I gamble, I will become poor, and then my wife will not love me as much (girls dont love boys, girls love cars and money...right?), which will cause me such grief, resulting in me wayfaring about with a giganormous beard pushing a shopping cart.

Favorite Hymn

My favorite hymn: Although not in the current hymn book.

Everybody probably already knows which hymn I am talking about: Come, Thou Font of Every Blessing.  It was taken out of the 1985 version of the Hymn book, but is a super popular hymn since BYU and MOTAB have done amazing renditions of it (you know, that 80's video of the lady crying while singing...with like gallons of tears flowing out her eyes).  I transferred it to Uke tablature and it sounds good too.  It is not too difficult to play.  Enjoy!

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
