We're going to sing this song every morning at scripture time.
Don't you love this song??

That song brings back memories...we learned it in elementary school. I've been able to impress "thousands" because I could name all the states in alphabetical order in less than twenty seconds all thanks to that song! My Cub Scouts think it's especially cool. Good luck!
