Take er easy on that trip to Michigan this week! Garth, Well, I wasn't preaching or else they would of been running for cover :) But I heard through the grapevine and other round about ways that the tent meeting are still going. We have that book here in this house and it sure rings true! Another book, "Saint in the Wilderness " or something like that, about a Methodist circuit rider in the 1800s show how the people walked away from God as more and more new fangled inventions were showing up taking folks away from their first love. More than anything that book made the base for this post. And it showed me how even the smallest things we take for granted today will turn us away from following God and instead follow man. Thanks! Brad,

As I read your post it felt like I was right there in that tent meeting with you! I heard myself saying "preach it!" while you were one your roll. Your post reminds me of a book from H.L Roush called Henry and the Great Society. Progress steps in, and everything else goes bad. Quite a good story to read. Tom . . .

Me too man!!!! Very good post Tom. I mean the whole thing too.
