Last week was my 2 year wedding anniversary. We went to Amish Country in Indiana, we relaxed and talked and daydreamed about what it would be like to live in the country with our own brood - making our own everything and having a horse (Jonathan felt that was appropriate for real country living). We took a carriage ride into a farm and toured around. Everyone was so kind and pleasant. It was a little weird taking a day trip into these people's lives and we debated whether they just did it for the money, or if they had a bigger purpose. While they do not openly evangelize - they do show people another way to live - they give city folks a look into a simpler time, and I think that is a ministry in itself. I've always felt within me that people just need room to breath - room for their souls to expand.
(That sticker is a lie, but he wanted to wear it anyway, so later I wrote in "soy" - just to be honest ;)
A milking adventure! I love it.
I must say, that photo of the kitty in the hay is an awesome photo, Jodi. You could sell that one.
I know! and I took it too, not Jonathan :) But it really was impossible to get it wrong. There was a baby too, so little, but the kids scared it back into the hay.
