Do Work

Hey ya'll. Haven't been able to do share too much lately. I've been doing work. Thanks to all the inspiration you ladies have given me, I've bit the bullet and taken a step forward. It's on now... :)

Please check out my online store on EZ Shoppes:

And, please vote for me on Top Blogs by Crafters (just scroll down to the search and type in 2 Much Farm Primitives):

The Old Paths

I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home.
Dads were at work.
Brothers went into the army.
And sisters got married BEFORE having children!

Crime did not pay;
Hard work did;
And people knew the difference.

Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave.

Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite.

Women wore the jewelry;
And Men wore the pants.
Women looked like ladies;
Men looked like gentlemen;
And children looked decent.

People loved the truth,
And hated a lie;
They came to church to get IN,
Not to get OUT!

Hymns sounded Godly;
Sermons sounded helpful;
Rejoicing sounded normal;
And crying sounded sincere.

Cursing was wicked;
Drugs were for illness;
And divorce was unthinkable.

The flag was honored;
America was beautiful;
And God was welcome!

We read the Bible in public;
Prayed in school;
And preached from house to house
To be called an American was worth dying for;
To be called a Christian was worth living for;
To be called a traitor was a shame!


Preachers preached because they had a message;
And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!
Preachers preached from the Bible;
Singers sang from the heart;
And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!

A new birth meant a new life;
Salvation meant a changed life;
Following Christ led to eternal life.

Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;
Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;
Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;
And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!

Laws were based on the Bible;
Homes read the Bible;
Churches taught the Bible.

And children listened.

God was worshiped;
Christ was exalted;
And the Holy Spirit was respected..

Church was where you found Christians
on the Lord's day, rather than in the garden,
on the creek bank, on the golf course,
Or being entertained somewhere else.

I still like the old paths the best!

Hey ya'll. I got tagged by my good friend Linda. So here goes the 5 things about me. I feel kinda like a broken record cause I'm an "opened book" and feel like everybody knows these things already.....but here goes:

1. I give all the glory to Jesus!! He goes with me everywhere I go and is always there to keep me in line :)

2. I love my husband Jackie. What a great guy to put up with me and all the crazy things I seem to get into. He is really God Sent :)

3. I love my 2 "kids". Rob is 34 and Michelle is 30. They've done their Momma proud :)


4. I love my 4 grandkids. Andrea 10, Beta 5, Bailey 5, and Gage 4. What precious little blessings they are. Yes, even when they're getting into all their trouble....Grandma really does love ya'll :)

5. I'm so blessed to be able to stay home right now. After 11 years at a government job where corruption was running rampant and nobody cared, it is so peaceful to discover friends on line who don't center everything around theft, lies, gossip, backbiting and personal gain. I truly thank God for all ya'll who have shown so much love to me and who have lifted me up. Ya'll will never know how much this has helped get me through a time when I thought I might be losing my mind. I know God sent ya'll to me...which leads me back to #1....:)
