Who is To Blame?
I was on my mission when Howard Jones released "No
One is to Blame" found here. Whenever I heard
the song I would visualize a lower to middle class young man who had taken a
job at a country club.He has his eyes
on one of the members - a girl from a prestige family background.He would like a relationship with her and she
with him, but as they are labeled into upper class and lowly servant, there is
no relationship other than "client and worker"
I now hear this song expressed in some talks given by
various leaders - particularly when the talk is geared toward the family.How many others can hear these words
(symbolically of course)?
I am grateful for the ward members that I think of as family as Roland and Jenna are my only biological family in this state. Unfortunately not all wards are the same. There are a wide variety of members and there are some who offend - even when it's not intentional.
I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend . . . I am a memory preserver and I enjoy learning. I have lived the majority of my life in Salt Lake County, Utah and am now a permanent resident of Oregon.
My posts include a wide variety of topics including family members (my daughter Jaime and husband Richard are referred to as Jenna and Roland in earlier posts), transportation, nature, dementia, assisted living, and life (to learn why this blog is so named, read my first post created January 1, 2012) http://beneaththewraps.blogspot.com/2012/01/introduction-beneath-wraps.html
