The way we live today is not the same way as our ancestors did. Very sad. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s --> I hope that more of our people read these accounts and learn from them and develop a heart of returning to the old way while living in a modern world of course.
