Dottie at my church tonight

[Sister Alvear]

praying for her...

Did you by any chance asked her if she knew me?

I was there the first night Dottie sang "There is Nothing My God Can't Do" as a child. It was her first song someone sent it to Govenor Jimmie Davis and the rest is history. The place was saturated with the Holy Ghost that night. Elder Jimmie Russell had just preached that message and Dottie wrote the song. It is one of those high moments you revisit as a child. What could and should have been. I am sadden this story does not have a happy ending. I only hope she can't get some restoration before she leaves here.

The Rose song was probably her song about the Rose...(profound huh?)

it's a very beautiful song comparing the process of a rose being crushed to the life and crucifixion of Jesus...

"scarlet red its petals, opened in full bloom. Taking nothing but the sunshine, leaving fragrance in the room..."

and

"hands reached without a reason
crushed and brused the perfect rose
Causing yet a sweeter fragrance, as the healing water flowed....
Ugly thorns had never marred it, till a crown of thorns he wore....

Tasting death the rose of sharon, rose to bloom forever more"

This is from memory, so I could be a tad off...in fact, I'm sure I am....

I used to listen to this song on record, over and over and over
