Via Bethlehem in Anchored to Infinity
“The first two years spent in White Teeth Rock were the most difficult ones. With broken dialect….One day as she lay lonely in bed with a high fever, she questioned God, ‘Did I take the wrong path somewhere? Why then am I placed in such loneliness, difficulty, and poverty?’ It was at this time that Ms. Barber wrote the following expressive hymn.”1
