Can a redneck be saved!!!
 
I am just an average southern Mississippi boy! I love hunting and fishing and most oudoor activities! I sincerely appreciate and respect Gods creation! I work in a sales type environment so I have to cater to the publics needs to make my living!! When I am off I like to be far away from people!! I believe in Acts 2:38 have been baptized in Jesus name and spoke with tongues!! However; I hate going out to eat and socializing with church folks or anybody for that matter!! I dont even like going to church more than a couple times a week! I am just a regular ole redneck!! Am I going to HELL???!

LOL. I agree about the cities in California. If you can get away from all the human nuts and flakes out there you can find some nice country. But you've gotta work real hard at it.

My brother used to live near Mobile, AL. I never did figure out why they called that thick soupy stuff that I was choking on "air." Just standing still in the shade was enough work to get me covered in sweat.

My husband will be your best friend now. He thinks that is enough and so do I! Some places have church 4 or 5 times a week. Good grief! LOL!

Sometimes on the way to church he will say, "Man, nice weather for a boat ride." I have to say, "You are teaching today, remember? Keep driving." :heeheehee

If you ain't in church every time the doors are open, you ain't there enough! And don't ya know that EVERY get together MUST involve the whole congregation with a pot luck (although all joking aside, I am willing to bet that the food at a Southern Mississippi pot lock is better than one in Wisconsin....). I wonder how many dishes at said pot luck have a receipt which starts with "open one can of Pabst Blue Ribbon....?

Careful how you talk about Wisconsin.
I lived there for about 12 years from 1944 - 1956

Speaking of Rednecks,
anyone remember the song by Johnny Russell
Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer?

My husband and I were just discussing this today. Some people are "people people" and love to be busy going and doing all the time. The more church activities there are, the happier they are.

Other people are the more retiring "don't like a crowd" type. They're happiest puttering around their house, doing yard work, going fishing.... just not big on being around a lot of people all the time.

Unfortunately, sometimes the latter crowd can be made to feel like they're not very "spiritual" because they don't want to be at the church 24/7, doing activities.

By southern Mississippi, are we talking Hattiesburg southern or Pascagoulah southern?

The further away from the Mississppi coast you are, the less hope there is for you, Mr. Redneck.

Let's just hope the Lord doesn't come while you're eating skillet cornbread and the pot-o-greens at a place called Cock of the Walk.

Was "Cock of the Walk" a franchise or a local Mom and Pop joint?

I don't remember seeing those anywhere between Moss Point and Pass Christian.

I read a short story in college once about a black woman walking through the forest to get to the town of Natchez to buy something from the store I think.

It's been so long and I have no clue what that story's title or author is.
