I know very little about the Amish and Mennonite religions. I should look into it. It seems many of the local Mennonite people live extremely restricted lives, by my standard of course, for instance I cannot imagine driving around in a horse and carriage in the dead of a Canadian winter.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-9638860718077019672015-04-22T17:51:54.654-04:002015-04-22T17:51:54.654-04:00I agree with Betsy.

Being held to such unreachable standards only leads to more failure - and more rules piled on top of what is already there.Lady Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608765381189723792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-38281358843224884422015-04-22T12:52:34.835-04:002015-04-22T12:52:34.835-04:00To be the "salt of the earth" is very im...To be the "salt of the earth" is very important but we cannot be responsible for other's decisions. We do need to be a beacon of light for others to see. It sounds as though you were all being held to an almost unattainable standard.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-26375983514583891882015-04-22T10:20:31.220-04:002015-04-22T10:20:31.220-04:00That is a lot of pressure for sureThat is a lot of pressure for sureLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482404882449015739noreply@blogger.com
