Shout Unto the Lord

Some of the people I knew as a child are unforgettable. I am not sure of their impact on my life, but I remember them fondly.

I grew up in a "shouting church".

One of those who shouted at every meeting was Miss Sally Ann. If I had to say who had the hardest time of anyone I have ever known it would be Miss Sally Ann. Her husband was killed in a mining accident and she had a family to raise. She worked hard and raised a fine family and she was always at church. She simply got carried away, especially about going to heaven. She was best at funerals in my mind.

When she shouted one hardly knew whether it was Miss Sally Ann or my Aunt Bell because it always scared my Aunt Bell and she would jump as high as did Miss Sally Ann.
