A blissful sheep farm with a vineyard...
It really feels like the world's going down the drain; or going to hell in a handbasket as our American friends would very aptly describe it. Violence, war, conflict, protests, sadness, isolation, genocide, injustice, illness, depression, oppression, hate, cruelty, fear, pain... The list goes on... And that's only within the church... The rest of the world looks even worse. It seems to easy to lose hope in the face of current affairs. Is there any way we can turn this around? Are our opinions so vastly different that there is no conceivable way of reconciliation at all? Is there no way we can ever stand together as human beings again? I'm pretty frustrated at the moment. People annoy me. I can totally see myself living on a farm somewhere remote, taking care of animals (sheep, most likely), drinking wine made from grapes of my own vineyard and working hard to provide for my immediate family...
