In My Heart Forever (Part 2) A number of years ago, I was involved with a musical production entitled: "1856" The Musical . It was written by a dear friend, Cory Ellsworth. The theme was centered on the last of the handcart companies in 1856 to leave for the Salt Lake valley. The companies had left late in the season and were caught up in an early winter. There was much suffering as they encountered bad weather, food shortages, sickness, frostbite and much privation. Many died along the way and were buried in shallow graves. In the ending scenes of the musical, rescuers arrive bringing much needed food and support. Before that happens, there is a poignant scene where two women, dear friends, sing of the help they are sure will come. Although they look forward to a physical rescue, their faith leads them to sing of the spiritual rescue that Jesus Christ offers to all of us. A rescue awaits us though the journey may be long, and if we bear it patiently in faith and prayer
