    Two things... 1- enrolling them in a school is a big mistake. God may have called you to speak and be a missionary but he gave you a higher priority with your kids. They are not to called to that at young ages. You are called to love them and raise them. They will be far better served in their faith and in their life if raised at home with their parents. 2- Raising children in the rural life is wonderful. We don't all get that choice. It becomes more about what you instill in them than where.

    Interesting, the Gospel went forth in the cities. Antioch, Jerusalem, and so forth. A person living the country was called a pagan. This word come from the Latin word “Pagus”. Literally means a country dweller. Why do people think you have to live in the rural areas to be a Christian? If the apostles lived in the cities, so can today’s Christians.

    Interestingly he moved to the only southern state which has never been conquered. As a born and raised kentuckian who's family has been in Kentucky since before the civil war, I have two things to say: 1) culturally speaking Kentucky doesn't fit neatly with the rest of the south. Bordering the South, Midwest, East Coast, and being part of Appalachia, as well as not being a part of the Confederacy means that Kentucky is more rural than it is southern. In fact, early on in its history many of the people that populated kentucky actually came from northern states (particularly Pennsylvania). 2) having a uniquely individual culture does mean that Kentuckians live by an ethos, but that ethos is not in lock step with the south. We just overwhelmingly re-elected a democratic governor this past November. Kentucky has only had 3 Republican governors in its entire post World War II history. Kentucky's government collaborates far more with the government of Ohio and Indiana than with Tennessee or West Virginia. To be fair to Dr. Harrelson, southeastern Kentucky is the part of the state most like the rest of the South so he and his family hopefully feel right at home there. Im just pointing out that Kentucky living and Kentucky sensibilities will not be a perfect representation of southern living.

      I would say that could easily apply to Virginia as well. Northern Virginia is especially occupied but the rest of Virginia is very different. It's like someone took the suburbs of New Jersey and slapped them on the back of South Carolina. That's how culturally split Virginia is.

    Regarding the 53 minute mark, I too love the TLM but am turned off by the sort of insider outsider mentality some Latin mass goers impose on parishes. It's not so bad where I live,but I would avoid a community as hinted at here. We should normalize the old rite not make it inaccessible and uninviting.

    Thank you for sharing your conversation with us. I have quickly come to appreciate Dr. Harrelson's thoughtful articulation of views I share. I grew up in the rural Midwest and have ancestors that fought for the North. After almost three decades in the military, I no longer recognized the country of my youth. I rediscovered it in the South. My wife (who was born and raised in India) and I feel at home here. The local history embraces us like an old quilt, providing comfort and warmth, despite the stains and patchwork imperfections.
