My gramma taught me about "matching", lol...I was happy, and it made sense. Sometimes I'll rebel, and wear pink and red together, but I see the sense in what my gramma taught me. I know about shoeing horses. Thats about the only thing my aunt actually paid for, with her horses. When as an adult I worked on an Arab horse farm, I held the horses for the farrier. I can calm animals down.
Eli I have to agree with this practice. Many years ago the elderly were cared for at home until it was beyond the ability of the caregivers. The thing is, that before they got to that point, they could "Police," the community. They watched over the welfare of everyone's children this pertained to not only the Amish, but to other people who were and are definitely not Amish, but either way, it gave value to the elderly. Now out here, we put them in big concrete boxes, the kids hear from mom and dad, how much they hate visiting Grandma and or Grandma and the kids learn to ignore their Grandparents. That and with both parents working out there, it becomes harder to take care of elderly folks.
Eli, I enjoy your talks so much that I'm not even done with this video yet but I had to say something...yup, I bought a cheap little car back in the 70's (I'm 65) for $350. Well that thing had a stick shift too and people said they could teach me...but they couldn't. So I sold it. I have never been able to drive a stick. So I can totally relate to you. Now back to your video which I am totally enjoying. I could listen to you all day. You are such a pleasant person.👍
My grandfather was a baptist preacher, but I am an atheist. What I enjoy about you Eli preaching about Jesus and His teachings is you have embraced all the goodness in the scripture, and pushed aside what you see as hypocritical to Jesus's teachings. As an atheist, I love Jesus Christ. He was, and no one can argue this, at the very least one of humanity's greatest teachers and leaders. Thank you, Eil, for your testimony and the education about your people. You are wonderful.
I know how religion can effect you but believe Jesus is the son of God and he died for you. I too have been taught things that have effected me. I don't go to church because of the things I saw and experienced. But I know Jesus and have a relationship with him. I believe in Gods grace because that is the only way that any of us will be forgiven. Anyone that thinks they will make it to heaven by their works alone will not. If we say we have no sin we are a lier and the truth is not in us.
Marcia in Montezuma Georgia yes I too went to a very legalistic church. I'm old and have a lot of Health problems so I don't go to church. But there are other reasons I don't go. No transportation and just been hurt too much. But I know Jesus is the way. I do have a relationship with God.
In college, I was a CNA in nursing homes. The largest problem they face is being short-staffed. The residents don't always get the care they deserve because the staff simply doesn't have the time. 30 years ago, we were told that the best aide-to-resident ratio was 1 to 12. I never had fewer than 24 residents.
I've done that work also. It's about $$$ for the companies. I had to report the cna before me, for leaving a man in the same Depends all day. He had gotten sores.
We call them grandma houses,. I really like them as well. That was the 2nd barn that I remember burning, it was the barn by the old Reels tv. I need to go visit David in the near future.
For my mother we built a new house that had a basement apartment with very wide doors,she had her own kitchen, living room with fireplace, large bedroom with a large walk in shower that the door was also wide. This basement has a back porch. We did all this so she was under our roof but she had her own space. We had a stair lift so she could ride upstairs to eat with us or I would bring it down to her. Sometimes she cook her own meals. Saying all this I was blessed to have her living with me. It is so sad to see people dumping their family off in old folks home and never visiting them. I grew up to take care of family. Sadly she passed away last August. But her grandson my nephew is now living in her apartment. So saying all this you might not be able to afford to build all we did for my mom but you can clear out a bedroom. Love your parents as they loved you.
I've been going back and watching your old videos and this one touch me.d I've been caretaker for my elderly grandparents the past 3 years my grandfather died last March. My grandmother isn't doing too good with a walker. Before my grandpa passed I wiped nuts and butts for a full year. Now my wife has moved in here at my grandparents to help take care of grandma and wipe and clean her in the bathroom because I can't do that as a male. But I do everything else with the bed made and helping her walk and meals cooked and helping her sit down and putting TV shows on keeping her entertained it's unappreciated job my friend. But it's still not to love and I appreciate the way that you feel about us caretakers that means a lot to me to hear you say those kind words ttys may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you my brother
Eli, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video about so many topics! You covered each one well and many were humorous, yet you were serious when you should have been. You told about situations in your young life that were so interesting, and also about situations that took place after you left the only life you had known! These were surely difficult times for you because you were fully grown when you switched! That meant you had to switch and change most things you had known how to do in your early years! Your work, choosing the right car for yourself, (one without a clutch!) and learning how to drive were big changes for you! Now you are driving a “big rig”! I admire your sense of humor above all, as it is a means of making others feel comfortable and you certainly have a wonderful personality! You can call me Grandma because I will be eighty years old in less than two years! I worked with kids for thirty years and really enjoyed that. I also had my own two children and now I have two grandsons! I baby sat with them after I retired. My husband passed away almost two years ago. Keep up your ways of also staying in touch with people, as your ministry. You talk with people who need to unload their burdens with you on line and I have sometimes listened to those. I know they felt better after being able to express their fears. Thank you for everything you do for others! God bless you, your wife, and son. 🙏
Dad always slept in church. That was because he was a dairy farmer as was a number of other men in the congregation, they worked had and got up to milk the cows. Now he still nods off because he is 91 andhas end stage kidney disease.
I think all babies used to be put in gowns or "dresses" because like you say it makes changing easier. Often traditional christening gowns for babies are like that. I'm not sure when baby grows and the like were invented, or onesies, but they obviously took over in most of society!
I've been watching a lot of your videos and shorts lately, finding you as a random recommendation. Subbed after the first three videos I watched. I know this is an older video and all, just wanted to add that I am so happy for you. You have made a good and decent life for you and your beautiful family, Eli. You have been truly blessed, but you know that. Thank you for helping so many of your fellow Amish people when they decide to leave their communities. That's something you have every right to be proud of, too. There's so many lives you have helped. Again, I'm not a faith-based person, but I have a ton of respect for the lessons every religion has for us, to help us. You bring to mind one of my favorite quotes from any holy book: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.” I hope you really do understand howmuch good you have done, the full perspective. Thank you, Eli.
I like the added on house to take care of the elderly parents. Good idea.I’m 70 years old n I was taught on a 3 speed stick shift on the column I’m now 70 years old n I still drive a stick shift car. My Subaru cross trek is a 6 speed manual. I don’t care for automatic cars.
They used to do that in middle ages. It was for easy access to change diapers, access to limbs and easy to don/doff. There are pics of kids in the clothes.
But if your wife tells you your clothes don't match you need to listen to her. Other people notice and she just wants you to look nice. I know you do listen to her advice. It's so cute that you laughed at that western cartoon. That is funny! 😅
I liked your story about the infant's dressing gown, and how you didn't want to wear pants. The reason you said was you didn't want to change. Change creates instability So you see all of us; English or Amish, are pretty much the same. We all want stability and security. Forgive me if this isn't right; but I would think that your mom may have lost her stability when your father drank. And then she may have turned to her faith in the church to find stability again. And I can only imagine that your father was made more unstable by the way the church treated him. I think that what makes a marriage work is when the husband and wife form a team together against the world. Their faith and support of each other should be more important than anything that is in the church.
I will say from working in a nursing home it’s not always the mindset of the workers. Note I said not always, sometimes it is, and that’s a shame. The staffing situation in a lot of these places is absurd. One time I was put in charge of 28 patients as a CNA. That means 28 people who the majority of can’t bath themselves, won’t brush their own teeth, a lot are confused, can’t feed themselves, can’t take themselves to the bathroom. Of course I fell short that day of the care they needed. You’re moral in that situation is so low. Your tasked with taking care of peoples loved ones, and they make it literally impossible sometimes to do the job proper. Not every day was that bad, but my dad always said you can put in a 2 week notice or a 2 day notice. I said what’s a 2 day notice. He said that means you quit today, and that’s what I did. I told my boss that I was putting in my 2 day notice. She said what’s that mean, I told her it means I quit today. I said I’d finish my day, but I won’t be back tomorrow. I got a job on a Covid unit at another home that was a lot better, but man some of them can be bad. If you see almost no staff walking around in a nursing home big red flag right there
🔴 In the past people had many more children than today - quite a lot of them didn't live to be three years old and some died by the age of six. It was simply more practical if all the young people wore the same outfit, because then you could exchange these little skirts in the family and in the village, the age and sex of the little ones didn't matter. These fabrics were extraordinarily durable,
I agree I don’t like a lot of the new customs today even as an English gal lol but I’m Pentecostal and my families ways are a lot the same ! I’m the baby girl and the boys just let mommy have live with me ! But we add an extra extension and or find an extra area for our moms / or parents! I love your channel! Really true info and gods using you ! Ty for that ! You know even with tattoos girls we just don’t go there lol not to judge anyone but we are raised with deep morals and values and it’s kinda the same ! Even dresses ! But I know alot about some of the Amish customs ! For me I’m not as strict but we did live by our King James Bibles but if you cut your hair and wear makeup or wear pants your in trouble lol you can get wrapped into the customs I understand this ! Funny my bub worn dresses at times at the house I wonder what that was !? Even for Kentucky/southern ohio Area ? Strange! I do believe that if a man or lady gets a tattoo that god doesn’t see these things when our hearts 🥰 is right and we live for god ! I think the world of your spirit !
With Auszugshaus, Austragshaus, Ausziehhaus, Ausnahme(s)haus, formerly also acceptance or acceptance house, a smaller building erected on a farmstead is referred to, which was built for the old farmers and after the handover of the farm to the heirs serves as a dwelling place . Other terms are Ausgeding(e)haus, expatriate, food house or basket house or Stöckli (Swiss German
Husband and I previously lived outside of Philadelphia not far from the Amish Mennonite communities in Lancaster Pennsylvania we recently moved down to Tennessee where there is an abundance of old order Amish in the city of Ethridge.
It's easier also to hand down those clothes when someone has a new baby is why I was told by older non Amish women as to why it was the custom historically for most people.
I can understand the Santa thing to an extent....my oldest was more engrossed in the Santa traditions but with all of my girls, the more I hear "oh he knows everything I do AND he judges whether I'm naughty or nice?" the more I think the true "belief" in Santa the more I think it's not a good idea. My kids (youngest included) now Know that Santa is a reprentation of the holiday spirit rather than believing him to be real. Christmas is incredible, we celebrate amazing act of God, but I think Santa overshadows a bit and when they stop believing in Santa, there is a good chance they will start questioning God. That worries me. I'm in no way saying someone is bad for doing things differently but I truly believe I made a mistake in the way I portrayed Santa.
I mean if you do research about christmas trees, you will find out that it has pagan roots. I don’t think that should define a person if they don’t currently use it as a pagan symbol, but there is a lot of truth that christmas trees, santa, and mostly everything about christmas has pagan routes.
You know I’m old holiness/ Pentecostal churches separate themselves if you don’t go by there customs! Lol we was raised about not using tvs ! I can see alot of the ways to separate yourself! I could be wrong now a tree for babies and putting telling them it’s Jesus first of his birth ! But little mommas can’t help there old ways ! Lol ya know now if I girl sees an Amish guy with a short beard lol if he isn’t out here in this world they shouldn’t draw him away that should be that man’s wants ! I respect the Amish ways in some ways ! Today in Kentucky many are driving cars ! Lol or sharing rides lol anyways ty for your stories !
About beards, I have a beard because it is warm in the Canadian winters and keeps the hot sun off of my face in the summer. I can tell at a distance if your a man if you have a beard. Don't feel bad my wife of nearly fifty years still tries to dress me because I don't match hahaha. I just don't care! Tell your mom that God created the 🎄. Sorry to hear about your family fire at the barn. Keep the faith! I'm cheering for you. Your Christian brother in Jesus Christ 😉 Keep spreading the Good News on the highways and byways.
19th century and before kids had little boys wearibg dresses and it does makenit easier for changing diapers and whatnot. It also lasted longer as thr dress wouldnt be outgrown as fast as pants. I did a lot of livibg histories of the 19th century and those who are serious about the living history have their little ones in dresses.
I believe not having a Christmas tree and staying away from Santa Claus is not "legalism", but it's actually biblical. I can understand, based on your experiences, that you want to get away from man-made rules as far as possible, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater ...
I agree my red sister laws's mother died cuz twice she fell , I 've die to inept pivoting into her bed she e n Dee up is a broken leg a few weeks later she fell out of her chair & wasn't found immediately due to neglect she died only a few weeks later.sad poor Mary. This was cli ton county nursing home
I am not amish but I promised my parents I would take care of them and they would not die in a nursing home. I worked in one and quit. I could not stand the way the elderly were treated. It was shameful. I loved my parents very much. I have a question - why no mustaches in amish?
Your heart was in the right place you wanted to help out your Amish see you have done something that your community has and she managed to forgive so the elders will go to hell and you'll go heaven
Dressing up all little children in dresses is a tradition in most Germanic cultures going back a long time, up until relatively recently - it mainly went away due to discrimination against Germans during WWI in the USA. Little children are gross, they grow fast, they squirm... best make clothes that are cheaper and easier to make.
I’ve been watching your videos for more than 2 years and never knotice you were from Kenton ohio. That’s were I use to work. Witnessed a lot of racism there.
You say the youngest son. If there is a family with only daughters does the youngest daughter and her husband take that responsibility or how does that work.
Do they not understand that NOWHERE in the Bible does it say men have to have a beard??? Or that women don't have to wear head coverings because our hair is our covering??? And what gives the church the authority to rule your lives in the Amish Community??? NOBODY WOULD EVER TELL ME I COULD NEVER SEE MY PARENTS AGAIN JUST. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE AMISH!!! It seems more like an occult community than a religious community.
Jesus was born September 11, three BC. All our holidays besides Easter are Pagan or satanic holidays. Especially Christmas (PAGAN) - they name them after God to mock him.
He lives in Tennessee now and I haven’t talked to him in a long time so I’m not sure who he deals with and does business with. I do know he has a large construction company down there in Huntingdon Tennessee
You know, after thinking about it, why is Santa clause getting all the praise? That day is all about Jesus, and I can understand what your mom is saying. When it’s broke down to me like that, in my own personal opinion, Santa isn’t the good guy here. I never respected the fat man anyway lol
My family isn't Amish, but I have pictures of my dad wearing a dress when he was around 2 years old. I think everybody did that back then.
It does make sense.
Eli, you are very kind and down to Earth 🌎 God Bless
My gramma taught me about "matching", lol...I was happy, and it made sense. Sometimes I'll rebel, and wear pink and red together, but I see the sense in what my gramma taught me.
I know about shoeing horses. Thats about the only thing my aunt actually paid for, with her horses. When as an adult I worked on an Arab horse farm, I held the horses for the farrier. I can calm animals down.
Wearing dresses on boys was common years ago among non Amish also because it was easier to change diapers.
Found your channel few days ago, I can't stop binge watching, I love it. You'r funny the way you tell the stories, I love your wee laugh too 😂😂
Eli I have to agree with this practice. Many years ago the elderly were cared for at home until it was beyond the ability of the caregivers.

"Finish them off"? I know what you're saying, but thats an unfortunate way to put it. I watch you daily and am a new subscriber 😊
My mom died a terrible death in a nursing home - not all are bad ; but I agree we should take care of the old folks! 🧓
For my mother we built a new house that had a basement apartment with very wide doors,she had her own kitchen, living room with fireplace, large bedroom with a large walk in shower that the door was also wide. This basement has a back porch. We did all this so she was under our roof but she had her own space. We had a stair lift so she could ride upstairs to eat with us or I would bring it down to her. Sometimes she cook her own meals. Saying all this I was blessed to have her living with me. It is so sad to see people dumping their family off in old folks home and never visiting them.

So saying all this you might not be able to afford to build all we did for my mom but you can clear out a bedroom. Love your parents as they loved you.
My family lived in Kenton from December 1973 through August of 1977, and we would get most of our dairy items from the Amish.

I am from Miami, FL...I was shocked seeing a Amish woman in Gallipolis, Ohio. I lived there for 4 years.
The dress was common for young children in all of America 100 years ago.
I love church too. I look forward to it every Sunday.
That's wonderful about the Amish, they take care of the old folks.
I like the way you explain things. I love learning and understanding and the holy spirit yes!

Hi, Marcia from Montezuma Georgia again that is hilarious you laughed at Pinocchio! It's a comic to me as well. Lol😅❤ 😅😅😅
Dad always slept in church. That was because he was a dairy farmer as was a number of other men in the congregation, they worked had and got up to milk the cows. Now he still nods off because he is 91 andhas end stage kidney disease.

Thanks just wrote that. We have snaps on the English pants! Went running😂😆😂🤣😁
8:25 a sharp memory you have! 👏🏼👏🏼
They used to do that in middle ages. It was for easy access to change diapers, access to limbs and easy to don/doff. There are pics of kids in the clothes.
Maybe you should keep an "emergency" set of Amish clothes in your vehicle..? 😆
I hope you will consider writing a book about your experiences.🙏
Thanks Eli....great stories!👍🥰
😂 Bye-bye dress - hello pants!
🙋♀️👗🙋♂️👖🤣🤣🤣
But if your wife tells you your clothes don't match you need to listen to her. Other people notice and she just wants you to look nice. I know you do listen to her advice. It's so cute that you laughed at that western cartoon. That is funny! 😅
The dresses on infants is a German thing. My Father wore them as an infant.
I liked your story about the infant's dressing gown, and how you didn't want to wear pants. The reason you said was you didn't want to change. Change creates instability So you see all of us; English or Amish, are pretty much the same. We all want stability and security.

Their faith and support of each other should be more important than anything that is in the church.
Found you on Tic Tok and just about a week ago found you’re RUclips.

And tbe price they chsrge patients in nursing homes.
Thank goodness I’m not alone. I can’t drive a stick shift either.
Nice guy open & honest.
I just thought any beard meant they were married. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Marcia from Montezuma ga
My father wore a dress at first.he was born in 1922. The Amish live in the past .
I have Amish neighghbors and I asked about that dress to help with diapers changes.
🔴 In the past people had many more children than today - quite a lot of them didn't live to be three years old and some died by the age of six. It was simply more practical if all the young people wore the same outfit, because then you could exchange these little skirts in the family and in the village, the age and sex of the little ones didn't matter. These fabrics were extraordinarily durable,
A lot of worldly Englishmen are now sporting the Amish beards without the mustaches... I don't know if you've noticed that
I agree I don’t like a lot of the new customs today even as an English gal lol but I’m Pentecostal and my families ways are a lot the same ! I’m the baby girl and the boys just let mommy have live with me ! But we add an extra extension and or find an extra area for our moms / or parents! I love your channel!

Husband and I previously lived outside of Philadelphia not far from the Amish Mennonite communities in Lancaster Pennsylvania we recently moved down to Tennessee where there is an abundance of old order Amish in the city of Ethridge.
I really enjoy your channel, thank you for sharing. May I please ask you, what do the Amish think of Jewish folks like myself? Thank you.
I know what you mean about wanting to be a western 😆 🤣 I rode bulls and wore a cowboy hat for the first few years after I left 😆 🤣
I'm from Findlay! I was wondering where you were from, closer than I thought. About 45 min away
It's easier also to hand down those clothes when someone has a new baby is why I was told by older non Amish women as to why it was the custom historically for most people.
I live in kenton too thanks for the interesting info
I can understand the Santa thing to an extent....my oldest was more engrossed in the Santa traditions but with all of my girls, the more I hear "oh he knows everything I do AND he judges whether I'm naughty or nice?" the more I think the true "belief" in Santa the more I think it's not a good idea. My kids (youngest included) now Know that Santa is a reprentation of the holiday spirit rather than believing him to be real. Christmas is incredible, we celebrate amazing act of God, but I think Santa overshadows a bit and when they stop believing in Santa, there is a good chance they will start questioning God. That worries me. I'm in no way saying someone is bad for doing things differently but I truly believe I made a mistake in the way I portrayed Santa.
Oh my! That’s the community by the “off grid” store, isn’t it? I don’t want to mention the name of the store
I think it was from the earlier centuries, because they did that. (Wearing a dress until 2 years old)
I mean if you do research about christmas trees, you will find out that it has pagan roots. I don’t think that should define a person if they don’t currently use it as a pagan symbol, but there is a lot of truth that christmas trees, santa, and mostly everything about christmas has pagan routes.
Yes, and Jesus wasn't even born in December!
@@powderandpaint14 whoaaaa😂
You know I’m old holiness/ Pentecostal churches separate themselves if you don’t go by there customs! Lol we was raised about not using tvs ! I can see alot of the ways to separate yourself! I could be wrong now a tree for babies and putting telling them it’s Jesus first of his birth ! But little mommas can’t help there old ways ! Lol ya know now if I girl sees an Amish guy with a short beard lol if he isn’t out here in this world they shouldn’t draw him away that should be that man’s wants ! I respect the Amish ways in some ways ! Today in Kentucky many are driving cars ! Lol or sharing rides lol anyways ty for your stories !
About beards, I have a beard because it is warm in the Canadian winters and keeps the hot sun off of my face in the summer. I can tell at a distance if your a man if you have a beard.
Don't feel bad my wife of nearly fifty years still tries to dress me because I don't match hahaha. I just don't care!
Tell your mom that God created the 🎄. Sorry to hear about your family fire at the barn.
Keep the faith! I'm cheering for you. Your Christian brother in Jesus Christ 😉 Keep spreading the Good News on the highways and byways.
What would have happened if a non-Amish person would show up, what would happen? I agree with the diaper changing.
It’s easier to change your diaper at at between one birth in to you grow so fast they would have to keep making you close on it. Almost weekly basis.
Hey, Eli - at 14:50, you mentioned your “first wife”. Are you divorced and remarried? Appreciate your videos, brother.
19th century and before kids had little boys wearibg dresses and it does makenit easier for changing diapers and whatnot. It also lasted longer as thr dress wouldnt be outgrown as fast as pants. I did a lot of livibg histories of the 19th century and those who are serious about the living history have their little ones in dresses.
actually, eli, christmas actually does have a bit of pagan history, i wont go too deep into it, but its something to look into.
Eli, that camo hat doesn't match your shirt.
Just saying,,😉 lol. Great Video!
Since I’m from the Amish nothing has to match LOL 😂
Not to sound wierd or creepy but the beard does look good on you looks cool
I believe not having a Christmas tree and staying away from Santa Claus is not "legalism", but it's actually biblical.
I can understand, based on your experiences, that you want to get away from man-made rules as far as possible, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater ...
I agree my red sister laws's mother died cuz twice she fell , I 've die to inept pivoting into her bed she e n Dee up is a broken leg a few weeks later she fell out of her chair & wasn't found immediately due to neglect she died only a few weeks later.sad poor Mary. This was cli ton county nursing home
I am not amish but I promised my parents I would take care of them and they would not die in a nursing home. I worked in one and quit. I could not stand the way the elderly were treated. It was shameful. I loved my parents very much. I have a question - why no mustaches in amish?
Dresses on children of both sexes is a very old fashioned custom , and I agree it may be for convenience of diaper changing.
you know, I think I've heard of the dress thing before.
Easy to change the diapers.
Your heart was in the right place you wanted to help out your Amish see you have done something that your community has and she managed to forgive so the elders will go to hell and you'll go heaven
Dressing up all little children in dresses is a tradition in most Germanic cultures going back a long time, up until relatively recently - it mainly went away due to discrimination against Germans during WWI in the USA.
Little children are gross, they grow fast, they squirm... best make clothes that are cheaper and easier to make.
Legalism is so right
What rig ya driving? Peterbilt? I run a cascadia condo OTR
Yes I drive a 2019 Peterbilt
Big bird cartoon😂
I’ve been watching your videos for more than 2 years and never knotice you were from Kenton ohio. That’s were I use to work. Witnessed a lot of racism there.
Why is your wedding band on your right hand and not on your left hand? When the English marry it goes on the left hand ring finger.
Good morning 😃
In case of a fire do the amish get in contact with the fire department?
Changing diapers make sense
Legalism is boring! Marcia from Montezuma!
You say the youngest son. If there is a family with only daughters does the youngest daughter and her husband take that responsibility or how does that work.
Clothes not matching I think is a man thing I’d say. Women care more about that than we do.
Do they not understand that NOWHERE in the Bible does it say men have to have a beard??? Or that women don't have to wear head coverings because our hair is our covering??? And what gives the church the authority to rule your lives in the Amish Community??? NOBODY WOULD EVER TELL ME I COULD NEVER SEE MY PARENTS AGAIN JUST. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE AMISH!!! It seems more like an occult community than a religious community.
It's similar to the Roman Catholic church. That's the biggest cult on Earth.
You know an Abe Slaubauch from kenton area? Pry close to your age. Lives in Colorado last 16 - 17 years ? Has a brother mose an Daniel
But can you tuck the beard? I can imagine a full beard getting caught in machinary and causing a serious injury.
Maybe they were waiting to see how you identified. Just kidding.
Eli why do you ware your wedding ring on your right hand
I know your brother. He dated my daughter for awhile.
hello from mt.victory ohio . mose Miller's old house . county rd. 245
Jesus was born September 11, three BC. All our holidays besides Easter are Pagan or satanic holidays. Especially Christmas (PAGAN) - they name them after God to mock him.
why no mustash now?
Does your brother Levi do alot of business with Rick?
He lives in Tennessee now and I haven’t talked to him in a long time so I’m not sure who he deals with and does business with. I do know he has a large construction company down there in Huntingdon Tennessee
You know, after thinking about it, why is Santa clause getting all the praise? That day is all about Jesus, and I can understand what your mom is saying. When it’s broke down to me like that, in my own personal opinion, Santa isn’t the good guy here. I never respected the fat man anyway lol
