Rescued From The Devil’s Grip In Luzerne County
😈😈😈
Halloween Edition
I love getting lost while driving. While it can be frustrating on vacation, because your time is limited, it’s a privilege to get lost in the area where you live, if you look at it as an adventure.
So, I’ve turned it into a game, and the rules are: As you go about your daily life, take note of roads you’ve never traveled and when you have some free time go for a drive…that’s it! BUT you can’t use GPS or even maps unless you eventually see a sign or a landmark that indicates you’ve gone a little too far out of your way for your own comfort. Part of the fun is not knowing where you’ll end up….
If you bring passengers along with you, be sure they are adventurous and patient souls. Also, bringing snacks helps…
During a recent wandering adventure that actually started by looking for some old railroad ruins in the woods of Mountain Top, and ended on the other side of Interstate 81, I passed this barn and stopped to snap a pic of Bugs Bunny, but it was the other side of the road that proved to be most interesting!
I wasn’t sure if the For Sale sign was intended for the property, the birdhouse or books, but there was one book for sale next to a metal collection box behind the screened-in enclosure. I did try to go inside but it was locked, and I was kind of relieved…. the whole scenario would probably make a great opening for a horror movie😉 There’s an opening inside the enclosure beyond the collection box which leads inside the barn that give no clear view of who…or what…could be around the corner.
I went back a second time to see if there was anyone around to talk to, but no such luck. So I did some digging online later and found this:

3 AM comes awfully early when you are 10 years old, the thermometer shows 10 degrees, and you must head outside to work, but that is how I grew up. I grew up on a farm in northeastern Pennsylvania. Not just any farm. It was a dairy farm. There is a difference between a farm and a dairy farm, a huge difference. But I will explain all of that later. Now some people might think what in the world would a boy who grew up in northeastern Pennsylvania who lived on a dairy farm must write about that would be interesting. I mean it is not like I worked for the CIA, helped overthrow dictators, or foiled a Somalian pirate takeover, or did I? Maybe you better read on to find out! But in all seriousness folks, I am not making fun of people who did things like that. Kudos to them for protecting my freedom. Yet there are a ton of things I can and will talk about in this book. Many people will find it interesting. Some will find it sad. Many will laugh. Even if it is only one person who reads this book and turns out to be a better person for it, then my efforts will have all be worthwhile. I will talk about family, friends, work, work, and more work. I will talk about marriage, people who knew me all their lives, and people who knew me for one hour. I will talk about death and the important role it played in my life. I will talk about love and the important part in had in my life. I will talk about what it took to grow up doing what I did. I will talk about some of the hundreds of people I knew growing up and how they shaped my life. Most importantly, I will talk about God and the role He played in my life. I will talk about the long days and even longer nights, the summers that never seemed to end, and the winters that always seemed too short. Yes, short. I will talk about old people, money, animals, racing cars, and trucks. I will talk about life- changing experiences and how quickly life changes. Two of them within one year of each other. But for the life of me, I cannot remember anything after the first experience until the second experience happened. I will talk about good friends who are no longer with me and why they left. I will talk about why I never hung around with people my own age and why I always hung around with people who were three, four, or even five times older than me. I will talk about near-death experiences and how I did not even know what I was doing, saying, or what was going on around me until it was too late. I will talk about remembering things as far back as when I was five years old and remembering things that far back like a flower, a cat, or a thunderstorm! But for the life of me, I simply cannot remember one entire year of my life. Nothing! No matter how hard I try. I will talk about the events leading up to that situation that I never shared with anyone and how sorry I am that I never shared until now. Most importantly, I will talk about how God never gave up on me, how I found my way back to Him, how I asked for and received forgiveness, and ultimately how God’s love brought me back.
It’s certainly an interesting, grassroots way to promote a book. I don’t have any further information, but if you do, please reach out and fill me in!
