to lose my soul for. The thing I just set up there and talk, I talk so much (laughter) about prayer I think sometime they get tired hearing this but I can't help it. I have to pray. That's all. I pray and trust in God. As that old song would say, 'Trust and obey. There's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey' (laughter). Yes, so me and my George we hold heads together.

N.H.S. What does that mean?

M.E. It means when anything come up. We want to anything come up that's in our lives we want to, anything comes up that's in our hearts. We do have little obstacles you know. Different little worries and things like that. So me and him would get together and talk it over. Yes, he got to go one way and I go the other see but that's meet in prayer that's hold together because God He stays with us. There's no other way but, to stay happy with Jesus but to pray. So we stands together (laughter).

N.H.S. When you pray with George are you in the same place or in different places?

M.E. Ooh, in different places. He be at his work, somewhere, and I be to mine but that's alright. We're praying together.

N.H.S. Because you set a time.

M.E. That's right (laughter).

N.H.S. That's beautiful.

M.E. That's right. Besides he be so sick and things. He's worrying and he says get together. I wake up in the night, Lord and pray. When I get up in the mornings I call him.

N.H.S. You call George?

M.E. Yes, I call him up. I says George how you feeling this morning? 'Mama, I'm much better. Feeling fine.' I say that's the Lord's way. I said I know you had to be getter [[better]] cause I certainly pray for him. I know we going to leave this world sometime.

N.H.S. That's right.

M.E. We didn't come here to stay. We got to go.

N.H.S. That's right.
