PA RAY SAYS SO!

My Daddy's Father was known as "Sunshine".Pa Ray had snow white hair, and he could build just about anything.He was deaf as a doorknob,so I learned to talk,by looking straight at him,so he could read my lips.This is how he taught me to tell his version of one of the Brer Rabbit stories.He would tell me:"It's your turn to tell it!",to which I would reply:"No,it's yours!" He'd say with a huge grin:"Nope it's your turn, but come sit down and I'll tell it again anyway!" Boy howdy, would we laugh!Oddly enough, this is how I learned to tell this story from memory,so well.....
I've never forgotten telling it either!
Just think what would happen,if God's children, would tell the world,His story.....over and over!
Yep! We would never forget it, would we?
It's a pretty exciting story too!
