The Bible and Backroads

First of all. I would like to say I have been raised to love God,seek God and praise God my whole life! So that is where the Bible comes in in this blog. I think for the most in the holler they have been raised to be God Fearin men,woman and children! Whether you go out and drink on Saturdays or cuss like a sailor every other day of the week, in the holler,you believe in The Lord and  don't care for them there crazies with their non-christian beliefs! And I am not sayin it is ok to do any of these things nor does it make it right in God's eyes,but it is how it is! Although, I had always been raised in church,I did like many go through a wild and wooley stage as a young adult,not proud of it,killed that girl long ago,but again,it is what it is,can't change the past. That is where the backroads come in. Like I have said before, I was not use to the holler life, but this ridin backroads was considered a date!  These dates though....consisted of riding backroads,drinkin beer(there was no other beverage of choice) Natural Light or nothin~because you know wine coolers are for city folk...talkin on the CB radio,looking for deer,coyotes or anything else wild that could be shot and stopping periodically,to get out and have a little community cooler break !! Us girls would stand around and talk about the boys,gripe about them or talk abou the new girl or girls that one of the single guys brought along for the ride..LOL. And the boys would stand around and talk about huntin,fishin,trucks, or the new girl/girls that was along...of course their comments about them was usually a little kinder then our comments about them! This was our territory and we didn't appreciate their blond from a bottle hair or their short shirts and mini-skirts! That is not what "we the girlfriends" wore to ride back roads! A pony tail,a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt were sufficient.  And u know if you mess with a southern girls man..we like to get right with ya about it!  There were many fights had, fist thrown,cussins,tears shed,,and laughs had on these rides. I don't know how many mud holes were gotten stuck in,hills climbed or trucks tore up for figurin you could make it up that hill or through that mudhole?? But,those were some good and crazy memories...I am just glad the Good Lord that I grew up knowin about protected us during all those times and I just pray that my own kids stick to the Bible and avoid the backroads...Hopefully they will, I will just pray for them like all our mama's prayed for us!
