Tom,

I can see your point with the Amish if you are living in the midst of Amishville, but here in Cali it would be refreshing to see a horse and buggy for a change.

Welcoming the Amish to CA.

I stare at them just driving down the road. We don’t have any of them out here and I like to watch their peculiar ways of doing things.

Oh, and I have to tell you. The other day a friend was letting me listen to songs that they like and they turned on Duke Of Earl. I couldn’t believe it. I’m impressed how well you did matching the real thing. I still have your AP cd you gave me. I need to get it out and let this friend hear your version. They asked!

Most people that go “more liberal” don’t have ministry in mind but rather personal interest. Not always like that though.

So why is it that we look favorably on someone who would go “more conservative” in or to reach a group of people, but heap condemnation on someone who even mentions going “more liberal” to do the same? Just a thought.
Another thing, a lot of people who smoke would like to quit, but they’re addicted and can’t. I would venture to say that the majority of Amish who smoke are in this situation. I don’t know, maybe I’m way off base.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw an Amish man smoking. I was shocked speechless. The Amish here are as Amish as you can get and you would NEVER see them smoking, drinking, etc.

It’s a sad thing you know. I have concluded the the only way to reach the Amish as a whole is to become one of them. I have found two people now that have such a burden for the Amish that they would do that in a heartbeat. That’s vision. That would be difficult. I respect them.

Makes me wonder what I’ve got in me. How much am I willing to do, to give up, to change to reach people. Change isn’t always required, but in some cases it is.

There are times when I sit and analyze myself and I realize that I’m not made up of very much! Sure I’ve got the passion, but what is passion if you just sit on it?
