Jenni Leigh That's when you just explain the difference in time periods. Most people don't know.

Robin Grimm I know the difference, I just couldn't remember the exact years.

John Hubertz My Amish family has 5 phones and an unlimited internet, talk and text plan on their top-line Galaxy phones and one blackberry and grandma still uses a flip phone.

John Hubertz All of them are more skilled with their phones than I am with mine. The amish are not tradition bound, backward or foolish. They use modern technology as needed, but they will never on purpose buy or use products that are produced by people they do not know.

John Hubertz They build gas and diesel generators, and make their own power - which is expensive, but they know the Amish who build the generator, and they know and respect the Hindu who sells them gas and diesel.

John Hubertz They refuse to be photographed or hang any picture of anyone, even Jesus, on the wall. They do not play musical instruments, they do not go to war, they do not study to be doctors or lawyers or anything beyond age 14.

John Hubertz They eat like they are at cracker barrell four times a day, they take huge vacations, they surf, they swim, they own 32 foot long ski boats and can form human triangles on professional grade water skis. They dress like California surfers when on holiday.

John Hubertz They drink like Irish poets, and they lament life and death and 600 people at a funeral is not uncommon.

John Hubertz I love them and choose to share their message with the world.  IMPORTANT NOTE - I BELIEVE THIS SONG IS FULL OF UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT, IF IT OFFENDS ANY AMISH OR ANYONE KNOWS OF SUCH OFFENSE I WILL IMMEDIATELY REMOVE IT.  

 THE AMISH HAVE THE BEST SENSE OF HUMOR IN THE WORLD.  BUT I DON'T KNOW THE BOUNDARIES - THEY CHOOSE TO SURPRISE YOU WITH THOSE.
