I feel overwhelmed by the day to day stresses of modern life and would love to step into their world to experience peace. I loved reading about your experience.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508025632249734480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-43907656597670175902007-04-12T07:26:00.000-07:002007-04-12T07:26:00.000-07:00Hello, I found your blog through Riverbend Ramblin...Hello, I found your blog through Riverbend Ramblings. I enjoyed reading a few of your entrys. <BR/> I also have a fasination for the Amish. But after reading Beverely Lewis' novels I am glad I wasn't born Amish, because they don't believe in Salvation by Grace alone through Faith alone. It is hard to come out of "religion" so to speak. Especially if it is a "good" one, lol!<BR/> So, I just admire their practical life lessons but when it comes to "religion" I am thankful that I wasn't born an Amish woman.<BR/> I am glad for the Grace of God, and Glad that we can have a personal relationship with Christ without all the man made rules that the Amish Church imposes upon its people.<BR/> Anyway, sorry for getting carried away with my little blurb about the Amish. There was once a time that I had vowed to myself I would marry someone plain, lol!<BR/> I do agree that they can cook like no other! :)Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313980535349477065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-80032583175286120632007-04-12T07:14:00.000-07:002007-04-12T07:14:00.000-07:00Connie, that sounds like a great life.Brandy, I wi...Connie, that sounds like a great life.<BR/>Brandy, I wish I could garden.

When I have to go to the post office or another place, I try to walk since it's usually only a few blocks and my schedule isn't very pressing. <BR/><BR/>Gardening makes lots of extra work and healthy foods. Hmmm. . .I'm interested to hear others' ideas, too.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420563302312784306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-60141335840326822552007-04-11T10:01:00.000-07:002007-04-11T10:01:00.000-07:00I know growing up, we were all ways busy.

For a long time we brough water in from an outside well then a pump. Washed our closthes by hand and hung them on an outside line to dry. Ironed everything we wore and that we slept on. Canned our vegetables, slaughter our beef and pork, killed our chickens, it was a very busy life but a great one. We were tired when we went to bed, had no need for sleeping pills to put us to sleep. connie fromTexasTO BECOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358989235076877037noreply@blogger.com
