Connection is only part of it... it has to resonate somehow... I recently attended a presentation of an early preacher's "rules for children" in which he listed 100 or so rules that (German) children (in 1670-1690) were expected to live by... Many of the rules are relevant today - but sadly not known\followed.<br /><br />I could see the parents and teachers in the audience engage to the talk when the presentation covered a rule and they disengaged when the presentation talked about the author of the rules and even more so when it covered the life of the man that translated them to English.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-46149397461737581392015-10-09T22:50:19.172-07:002015-10-09T22:50:19.172-07:00When it comes to genealogy, it seems there is no &...When it comes to genealogy, it seems there is no "meh" middle ground, Far Side.
