So each time I think about what to blog, I think Why? Here are some of my thoughts...
I blog...
Because everyone else does
Because I want to sound wise and important
Because it is a good opportunity to journal
Because it helps me to VENT
Because ...
Why do I always look at motives? Why can't I just blog to blog? Right???
Writing and words are very important to me. If I have a vice in life, I would say it is books. I could spend a lot of money on books. Life has kept me so busy that reading has been put on the back burner. But nothing can draw me closer to God than a good inspirational book. I love poetry. I love Helen Steiner Rice...(Wow I can hear you all laughing at me now).
Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like without radios, TV, computers, phones, etc. If I could have been born in another era, I would like to have been born in the late 1800's. I love Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, etc. I love that girls were girls and they loved to read to each other and take long walks and pick wild flowers. And I think I would like to have lived in the prairie. Life was simpler then in some ways. God was most important and people actually read their Bibles. Kids were respectful and knew how to work hard. Maybe I have romanticized this era. I am sure pioneer women had a very hard life. They died young and lost many babies, no indoor plumbing, no electricity...Okay...Maybe I should just be content where I am. Contentment with godliness is great gain...

ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI can totally see you, katie and sarah walking through a field picking flowers...and them rolling in the grass laughing together and singing while hanging laundry on the lines.
Sometimes I think the same thing...it just seems like a much simpler time, things that should be important were important....defintily a harder life though.
ReplyDeleteI played Minnie May in Anne of Green Gables in high school.
I agree. I have a love hate relationship with technology. I like a lot about the 21st century, but I think our priorities are all out of whack. My best friend and I keep threatening to become Amish!
