The ‘Long-Look’ is the best look.

A story was related to me this week by my friend Jeff James :  a local Mennonite farmer talked about the art of plowing a straight row.  “You’ve got to have the ‘long-look.'”

The long-look is always the best look in making good decisions.

That’s why I believe so passionately in having a written life plan.  It forces a person to look at the “Long-Look.”

How’s your long-look looking?

I spent most of the past week in the woods camping, hiking, canoeing with a wild bunch of country boys.  Even in the midst of a hot Louisiana summer, I love the feeling of the outdoor life.

I shared with the boys a wonderful quote from rural writer Wendell Berry:  “The Bible was written to be read outdoors.”

Try it.  You’ll find it true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A week in the life

This is earlier this week at Foreman’s in Dry Creek.  Can anyone identify the owner?

I still laugh about an intro at a past East Beauregard High Homecoming,   “Missy loves talking on the phone, riding her four-wheeler, and muddin’ in her truck.”

I love piney woods history, culture, and people.  It’s where I come from.
