Legend has it that this song was written by a pastor in or around Macon, Georgia who later turned away from God and ended up drinking himself to death. I know an elderly lady who has been singing this song in a small country church for 50 years or more. She along with many others have been researching this song for many many years and have stated that there is no known music to this song and no one knows the name of the pastor who supposedly wrote it. It is a shame because this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Maybe one day, we will know the writers name.
I'm not sure when this question or answer was posted but I know the name of the writer. His name was Luther E. Richardson. He wrote the song around 1965. He was my father and passed away 24 years ago. It is not true that he drank himself to death but he did battle with the bottle off and on for many years. He wasn't a preacher but was a singer and traveled to tent revivals around Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. He was very involved with the church and continued to sing this song until his death. He also wrote several other songs but would not take credit for them because he felt he was not showing that he was humble before the lord. He never wrote the music to any of these songs due to having no formal music education. My brother and I continue to carry on his legacy by keeping this song alive. My brother is a Pentecostal minister in Central Florida and sings the song often. I live in North Florida and sing the song for members of the family at get-togethers. I hope this answers any questions. I will be happy to provide lyrics to anyone interested. The song is written in the key of G and is a simple 3 chord progression, G, C, & D.

Doberman can shed a lot... it mostly depends of the kind of food they are eating. They do have short hair which makes their shedded hair less noticeable than those of let say a husky.

Drag someone on top of the sandbox and they will pick up what looks like a golden shiny door knob. Then they will walk over to the shed and place the door knob on the shed but it will remain shut and locked. To unlock the shed, place someone on top of the welcome mat at the front of the house, and they will pick up the key from under the door mat and walk over to the shed and unlock the shed. You will then receive a trophy for unlocking the shed. By opening the shed, you will be able to put out fires in the house, if there are any, because the fire extinguishers are in the shed.

Do cats ever stop shedding?
Yes, cats do shed their claws. It is not something that you usually see about to happen, you just find a claw on the carpet somewhere. Though it is normal, when you find a claw, do have a close look just to make sure that it IS just a shed piece and not the whole claw. The shed claw is just a hollow shell.
