I remember once as a young lad in my teens, some of the older folks in the Church got to railing against working on Sunday. To them, it was sinful to work on the Sabbath. I even had to accept a post-dated check from one of the ladies of the Church when she bought some pumpkins from me. She didn't want to conduct business on Sunday.
One particular Sunday, the rhetoric against Sunday work started to spill into dinner time. The folks decided we should continue the conversation at the McDonalds over in town. I think I'm the only one that saw the irony.
Now the Church I grew up in was Free Will Baptist. Most of the teachings, I tend to agree with. But the local association had some by-laws that left me puzzled-still do. Perhaps the most glaring example-and it fits into this thread-is that playing baseball on Sunday is considered "worldly" and is to be abstained from. Yep, you can play football, hockey, Parcheesi or whatever else you like on Sunday. But you best not play baseball. At a Church picnic, some kids decided to play catch. They had a ball and some mitts, but because they didn't use a bat, no one said a word. That is, until the ball got away from them and knocked over a checkerboard two old codgers were using. Oh, them old men threw such a fit and wanted to have them kids burned at the stake and their parents excommunicated for letting them kids play baseball on Sunday.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
