I'm looking at some land in a small Amish community. As I get to meet different ones I am sometimes surprised how some of the young men don't seem to be as agrarian as I would have expected. I sincerely hope that they don't end up making similar mistakes as the children of the families you mentioned in your piece. Isn't it a wonderful thing how God seems to be raising up a new generation of agrarians who seek to pass the vision to their children's children? What a wonderful (and humbling) thing to think how God may be choosing to pluck me out of Corporate life to be a part of this great movement. Blessings to you and your family! Scott,

I have been planning to get a copy and seeing your name reminded me that I hadn't :) Time to stop putting it off. Thanks for stopping by my little blog. I have written my thoughts on nursing homes here in the past. http://www.homesteaderlife.christianagrarian.com/2005/09/26/turn-nursing-homes-into-feed-stores/ Hi Mr. Orr

And thank you for the lyrical essay on "Some Folks I Knew." It makes one ponder how much rich heritage has been "plowed under" by children who are ashamed of their parents/grandparents' ancient ways. We have a duty to remember AND to pass on long-term, intergenerational vision to our children and grandchildren. They, in turn, have a duty to remember and preserve.

Your point is well taken. As R.C., Jr. is fond of saying, we must heed the commands of Deuteronomy 6. You never know what to expect from Homesteader Life. A nostalgic piece like this one day, and a small farmer vs. big ag the next. :) God's blessings to your family. I loved this piece, Scott. Your point is well taken.
