“The virtuous to those mansions go Where pleasures unembitter'd flow, Where, leading up a jocund band, Vigor and Youth dance hand in hand, Whilst Zephyr, with harmonious gales, Pipes softest music through the vales, And Spring and Flora, gaily crown'd, With velvet carpet spread the ground; With livelier blush where roses bloom, And every shrub expires perfume.” HandsPleasureVirtueYouthBandSpringFlowRoseSpreadVirtuousCrownsPerfumeCarpetPipeHarmoniousHand In HandVigorMansionsVelvetGaleFloraShrubsZephyr Book:The Ghost Source: The Ghost

“I was working in a church in Florida as a youth intern, which means I really didn't do much other than staple stuff. I'm from Dallas, Texas, and every time my grandmother would call-she would call me any time of the day-I'd be home answering the phone. She was like, "What do you do all day?" and sarcastically I would say, "Well, I'm trying to chalk off the next year to spend time finding a band name." And she said, "Well mercy me, why don't you get a real job?" I thought, "Wait a minute. That's the perfect name." That kind of freed up my year but that's where the name came from.” TryingYearsWellsKindMeanSaidRealHomeJobsNextNamesStuffWaitingChurchPerfectMinutesYouthBandFindingsMercyPhonesGrandmotherCall MeTexasFloridaEnd TimesMy GrandmotherSpend TimeNext YearDallasStaplesReal JobsChalkDallas TexasAnswering The Phone Author:Bart Millard
