(Rom. 2:4b — God's kindness leads you toward repentance?)<br /><br />Blessings to you, Sir, in your older age!<br /><br />R.W., (St. Louis, MO)"Mr. Dad"https://www.blogger.com/profile/18249892220095176317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628189661673304365.post-41870147461059114382009-05-21T22:31:41.417-07:002009-05-21T22:31:41.417-07:00I just read SIN.

Your parents and grandparents worked so diligently and prayed so earnestly for your salvation. Always remember that salvation is a free gift from God. We can never earn it with our pennies or our millions. Cherish the one who is the author of salvation, Jesus Christ- He is God. revisit your faith in the privacy of your room. Eternity is a long time. I wish to meet you in Heaven one day. Thank you for your series.Lynn from Brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471688319258935486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628189661673304365.post-29782309802919420422009-04-30T13:54:00.000-07:002009-04-30T13:54:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed reading this.

Two of my fondest memories I have while I was taking care of her are; I was able to take her to an old fashion general store that had a small cafe in the back. She really enjoyed it. The other time was, I knew the lady who owned the house my mom was born in, and grew up in. She invited me to bring my mom over to go through the house, and my mom had a great time. I asked my mom if she would speak into a tape recorder telling about her life growing up during the Depression and she said when she felt better she would. She passed away a few days later so it never happened, and I feel a big lose over it.David M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08805176866890575108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628189661673304365.post-61169467810454507452009-04-14T19:33:00.000-07:002009-04-14T19:33:00.000-07:00Earl, dontcha know I'm glad that the country boy f...Earl, dontcha know I'm glad that the country boy found his way to the city and into the homes and hearts of so many.

It is one of my favorite places of all.I have experienced firsthand the peacefullness and serenity that the Blue Ridge commands over the small towns in it's shadow and it has left its indelible blueprint upon my memories.I always think of you, Mr Hamner, when travelling through Virginia and have stopped several times in Schyler,Sat on the porch and drank coffee with your brother, James.<BR/> I wonder,Mr Hamner, if you will ever know what a great inflence your writting has had over so many lives.

I could see you walking in your too short pants and jacket (I’m just guessing your pants were a little short too ) with the little treasure in your pocket. I’m sure all is forgiven… you can sleep easy…<BR/>I should mention too that I sinned recently. Last night I was inspired by your intro to the Walton’s. I hadn’t seen an episode in years, so I went looking for one on the internet. I watched The Actress on youtube (I guess that’s copyright infringement…my sin). It literally brought a tear to my eyes.<BR/>Xavierxphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073475027451944136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628189661673304365.post-27467856273881620612009-03-13T13:38:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:38:00.000-07:00Outstanding writing--I could practically taste tha...Outstanding writing--I could practically taste that chocolate malt myself.

I have an 8 year old son who wanted The Waltons series for Christmas. I just picked up overalls at a thrift store for him, he wants to look like John Boy :-)<BR/>We have 6 children, and this series has taught all of them so much.
