"When were the good ole days?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Will Rogers once said, “Things aren’t the way they used to be, and probably never were.” I know I remember some things much better they were at the time.

So, when were the good ole days?

My late Grandfather Faucette was born in 1901. In his good ole days, the average life expectancy was 47 years. Only 14% of U.S. homes had a bathtub. Only 8% of the homes had a telephone and a 3-minute call from Denver to New York cost $11. Most women who washed their hair only once a month used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. There was no Mother’s or Father’s Day. The American flag had 45 stars. And only 6% of all Americans graduated from high school.

It seems to me that the good ole days are any day when we experience God’s love with people we love. Experience God’s love as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living today.
