I am a Pennsylvania country kid. A redneck.
Growing up, I wasn’t proud of being a country kid. I didn’t realize how privileged and grounding my upbringing was. I thought I was missing out on so much of what the world had to offer.
Not anymore. Now I’m proud to be a Pennsylvania country kid. I’ve realized how it has shaped and molded so much of who I am.
My parents introduced my family to Duck Dynasty. What a riot they are! My children and I used to watch them a lot and we would just laugh and laugh ~ we love them!
I was so impressed when I came across this video on YouTube with some of the Robertsons talking about their testimonies and trials.
My favorite section of the video:
Phil is talking about his sons and their wives running the company, and one of his boys comes to him and says, “Dad, you remember when you started out with that $8000 worth of duck calls?”
I said, “Yep.” They said, “This year we’re going to sell close to a million duck calls.”
“It was either dog luck, but I am giving the credit to God Almighty in Heaven for the duck call sales, the fish that were in the nets way back, for my life. I’m giving the credit to the Almighty.”
When you watch it, think about how one man bowing his knee and walking in obedience to Jesus Christ can transform his family and his future generations.
