Here is something about me when i was younga before u go.

Me and my sisters got these instruments lol i was like maybe 5? I cant rememba really lol.

I stood in the coffee table and we done our thing.

At times i tend to aound like brad paisley when i sing but its kinda rare.

Its just a country boy thing so sound like each otha lol.

I was born im tennessee and grew up going to dolly wood.

My brother lives im bristol and i live in a city and i miss those blue ridge mounts every day.

But people in my town make it feel like home so for now im happy.

My wife and I saw the Shake in the theater 2 years ago. Although not strictly biblical we both enjoyed it very much. I lived in Clarksville, Tennessee in 1980-1983 when I was stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY during my military days. We plan on leaving Florida and move to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, hopefully by the end of the year. Today was a workday for me but overall it was not a good day at all. Felt depressed the entire day and very discourage. Still, tomorrow is another day and I don't have to go to work either. I am not really a country boy but rather a southern big city boy. Thing is I am tired in living in areas with millions of people. Country living would do me a world of good.

Tourist - Cities drain you. They make you tired and for the observant person (which you are)I think cities are an overload. That can be disorienting. I'm often amazed at how many references there are to rural or agricultural life in the Bible. Everyday I read some kind of reference pertaining to farming - like today I was reading in Romans how the Gentile was "grafted to the Hebrew root" , but that doesn't mean you become exactly like the Jew, but rather you share the nourishment of the Hebrew root and grow fruit of your own. Vastly differing fruit but enhanced by faith in the same God of Israel! But how would you know that if you had no real experience in the grafted tree? How would you really understand the significance of the act of grafting if you hadn't seen the result in your own orchard?

One time I read what Jesus said in Luke about plowing a field and not looking back. I knew exactly what he was talking about. You can't plow looking back. You won't produce. It was a message of commitment to the row you're hoeing. Leaving the past for past things. The reason I knew is because I had cut dent corn for a man once and the tractor was not one of these new gps self drivers and I kept looking to my right and behind me to see if I was on the right path and I never was! The guy was not too pleased when I left patches of corn untouched. So the scripture was very meaningful - but what would it had been if I didn't know??

Guess I'm on a tangent. I just think rural life is noble and not a wasted desire. Good luck.

Some days I wished that I lived in Green Acres from the TV series of years ago. Either that or Gilligan's Island. I agree with your estimation. I am getting old and tired and I have had enough. Thank you for your post which I enjoyed reading very much. It is definitely worthy of serious consideration. God bless you in your travels.
