In this video, I’m on my porch talking about rules oldhead Southerners had to follow regarding churchgoing back in the day.
I also share a nice bowl of redbeans with rice and a good old cold can of coke.
Don’t forget the Texas Pete hot sauce!
I also show you what I did with the prepped mushrooms that I shared in a previous video about meal prepping.
I made a nice Alfredo pasta dish with langostino, scallions, and spinach.
Okay, enough about that, let’s go out on the porch and sit a spell.
So let me go ahead and lay out these old school churchgoing rules:
Church was pretty much non-negotiable!
No church?
- No TV
- No radio or record playing–what was a computer or a smartphone?
- No playing outside
- No alternate spiritual activities like meditating or lighting candles – that was considered to be devilish! Me chatting about the moon would have been considered damn near satanic–in fact, in many places in the South, it still is! LOL!
- BTW, we hedged our bets on hoodoo and rootwork though–do your thang, just don’t tell nobody!
- If you went out Saturday night, you best be in church on Sunday. If you’re well enough to go out in the street, you’d better GET well enough to go to church the next morning.
Let’s not forget the good part–Sunday dinner, no fast food!
Clearly, times have changed, but personally, I think we should all consider doing something to either acknowledge our creator or at least soothe our body, mind, heart and spirit chile!
I’m serious bout that thing!
So many folks are way off track.
Many of us have lost any type of moral compass–that’s assuming there was one there to start.
Ah, but it ain’t nothing new bout what we’re seeing nowadays, hell three baby girls were blown up while at church in Birmingham over 50 years ago and what’s more, if you’d asked the bombers about their beliefs, they would have sworn themselves to be good Christian folks.
Look at what happended to those folks praying in Charleston.
There are countless acts of terrorism against churches, schools and other places of worship.
Recently, a lovely 69-year-old lady was brutally killed at church in Maryland.
What’s wrong y’all?
I just don’t know –so I pray and try to keep on the sunny side!
How were your beans and rice?
Anyway, I’m LadyG out here in the Southern skies, north of the sunset, east of the moonrise.
Remember,
LadyG loves YOU!
