Hello Alive Tribe
I hope your weekend went well. I have had more productive weekends, for sure. Yesterday's migraine followed me to today and I had to skip church.
I got up to watch Sunday School and church on YouTube.
After church I rested and watched a YouTube documentary on the Amish Mafia. There are a number of Amish in the area and a large community of them live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
My granddaughter moved twenty minutes away from me and into a large cluster of Amish farms. I frequently pass their horse drawn buggies. The documentary focused on the Amish internal justice system. The Amish are a private people and the community avoids external justice systems as often as possible. I felt that they overdramatized this documentary and it came off as failing to represent the community or the real issues. The first segment focused on horse and buggy/car accidents and the impact of them on their community. This mafia goes after the people who hit buggies in hit and run accidents. The Amish pay for a community insurance to provide for these types of accidents.
The documentary then focused on sexual immortality in two of their stories and alluded to a secrecy of one high ranking member in the Lancaster,
Pennsylvania area. The head of the Amish Mafia's group's powers are described to exceed that of the bishop of the local community. If I were to rate the documentary on rotten tomatoes I would give it a 6.5.
Jeff prepared bean soup with a frozen ham bone and vegetables and we all watched the afternoon sermon.
I downloaded a new book on Kindle; Where Are The Missing People by Jimmy Evans which my sister recommended to me and I began to read. I'm still weak from the migraine and pray that tonight's sleep will enable me to recover by the time I need to work tomorrow morning.
I decided to play with the stylus of my phone, a Galaxy Note 22 Ultra Plus. I used the PENUP app. It's a simple doodle. I experimented with the watercolor brush and another brush.
I've attempted to attach some other photos but I'm receiving broken images, so I'll skip them.
All in all, I'm alive and thriving, despite being tired. I hope you all enjoy a blessed week.
