I'm Back....

Well, it has been a long time! And even though we have had internet at home
now for about a month, I am just not that interested in technology anymore...
to a certain point! 😊

As I think how much I want to post on here more frequently now, I am also
hesitant because I want there to be purpose to what I am doing. At the same
time, I do not want to act like I have all the answers for the world....because
even if I did have them, not many people even read this anymore!! Anyway...

There is a certain part of me that really likes the simpler times, days when
people would actually sit on their front porch and talk or spend good quality
time together.....leaving technology put away. I know this is mostly wishful
thinking and I really didn't grow up in that time, but I do wish sometimes
that things were simpler....less technology, though I know some things are
nice....Facetime for one. I guess I am just noticing that people are BUSY!!
This technology that was supposed to make things easier for everyone has only
given us a reason to pile more on our plates!

With all that said, I'll get on with the real reason I wanted to post!🤣

I am reading a book by Pastor Jim Townsley titled "A Heart For The Home".
He does a lot of reminiscing in the book and I think this sparked all that at the
beginning of this post!....Here is something I found interesting....

"Marriage principles that worked in the past still work today. Though the Bible
truths concerning marriage were written hundreds of years ago human nature
has remained unchanged. Old does not necessarily mean bad. Simple common
sense principles are illustrated by the following comments:
                         
                                            Country Sense

- The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you
   shave your face in the mirror every morning.
- Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.
- Life is simpler if you plow around the stump.
- When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
- Bumblebees are considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
- The best sermons are lived, not preached.
- Live a good honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll
  enjoy it a second time.
- Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God."

I thought those were good. And some are funny too! I'll probably put other things
from the book on here as I find them.
