Some Faith

Preacher say Jacob's faith is raw. Oh Lordy, it is a faith you cannot shake. A thunderclap clamors and Jacob shouts, "Bless the Almighty!" and he tells his to wife turn off Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Jacob ain't so sure he is. But them thunderclaps is somethin' to behold, ain't they?

And you ever hear them boys at the Sunday service? Praise be to the Lordy. Them boys can sing. You ever hear them?

At Christmas time they get more musicians, you know, and they get some bells that they bang on and they make the most beautiful carols.

"Silver Bells" Jacob loves. It ain't about Jesus. It's just about the season--letting snowflakes fall on your nose; and the bitter cold; and eating goose; and forgetting that Christmas is hard work; and knowing that things are good for now and always. Thanks to Jesus for the baby Jesus. You can hear the angels in them bells.
