Yesterday on the way back home we heard a Prarie Home Companion Show with Garrison Keillor, talking about the Thanksgiving table at his house growing up. This clip , at about the 3:50 mark (but the whole thing is worth hearing)…about the Sanctified Brethren dogmas of the faith of many of his family members, and the place that prompted this post:

“For some people the threshhold of the Lord’s will is lower than for other people. Some people, they just look at something they like and they hear the Lord telling them to go do that”

Start the clip at about 3:45 and hear the whole context. Pretty funny. I’ll have to go back and listen to more of Garrison Keillor. I’d heard so much about the Lake Wobegon stories, and heard bits and pieces, and read some of Keillors’ remarks from his recent book Home Grown Democrat
