Back to Civilization

I know. It's been over a month. I had a death in the family and rejoined the family herd in a little town in Minn.

People don't care much about the internet in little towns in Minn. and thus, I was completely out of touch.

In fact I had to watch the news to see what the weather was going to be. They still have the news on TV, by the way, if you are used to getting everything off the internet. TV news takes too long, has commercials, and really just needs to be shut down.

This picture is an ice house sitting about a mile out on a lake above two feet of ice and fifty feet of water. Walking on the lake with my hooves was not a big deal, althoguh slippery. Cars and trucks drove on the lake! Not natural.

I found something out in this little town in Minn. - they get it.

They really don't care who has more stuff or who has a better job. They just take care of each other. Good folks. We spend so much time being busy, we don't have time to care about each other. These folks are looking to help each other out. We have heart attacks due to stress. If they have heart attacks, it's beacuse of eating too much bacon (pork, of course - I prefer to stay naive of what they do to my fellow cows)

In a strange twist, I right now hear a preacher on the radio blathering on and trying to explain "imputed righteousness". These wonderful Minn. folks response would be "you puked on what??"

The way they put it, "God made me, so now I work for him no matter what I'm doin'."

It really is that simple. Life doesn't need to be complex and neither does your relationship with God.

A toast to simplicity...and the people of a little town in Minn.
