“Hello Neighbor”

Submitted by A.G. Akers on Tue, 04/02/2024 - 22:20

A wise teacher was talking to a gathering of people when a lawyer stood up to test his knowledge. He asked, “How can I live forever?” The teacher responded by asking him what is written in the law and if he has read the law. Knowing the teacher was a religious man he quoted from the law of Moses, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” The wise teacher affirmed that he had answered correctly and told the lawyer, if he would do it, he would live. The lawyer wasn’t satisfied and still wanted to test the teacher so he asked him another question, “And who is my neighbor?”

Country Connections By James and Ellen Perry
A Once Upon a Time video on You Tube by Kenny Vance contains this verse in this beautiful song, “Once Upon a Time there was a Love Sent Down to Earth From Angels Above.” During the late ’50s and ’60s there were lots of Doo-Wop and country songs comparing girlfriends to angels. Try to record a song today that has angel or Biblical phrases and you will be run out of any recording studio in Nashville, LA, Dallas, New York or Chicago. Referring to a teenage girlfriend as an angel only happened once upon a time 70 years ago.

Redbuds blooming is a sign of one of several cold snaps we have in the spring.

Ah Spring! After a cold winter, we get one of those sunny, balmy days where the temps get up into the 60s and everybody sheds coats and dreams of gardening or fishing. Then along comes a cold snap that feels colder than what it is because your body had immediately acclimated to that warmth and sunshine. Those cold snaps are regular events that have been around before TV meteorologists, and our forefathers had to watch nature to determine when to plant crops. So through the ages we have weather lore that is still with us today.
