Yeah...Hardly any shoemakers around here any more.
I like to fix things that can be fixed and not throw things out. But so many things aren't fixable any more.
And then there are the things that maybe "should" be replaced but don't seem to die. In our case, that is our TV which is 22 years old. It has a good picture, but it doesn't do the wide screen, digital, and it isn't compatible with DVDs, etc.
That's fantastic. I really hate the disposable society and that many things are made now to last such a short time. Our refrigerator repairman told me (after he was out for the 5th time in a year to fix our new fridge) that appliances are now made to last about 5 years. I like our 25 year old washer & dryer & freezer just fine:)
Life has taken me from the Midwest to Africa. Africa was firmly planted in my heart at age 17. I realized that dream when I landed in Nigeria at the age of 26. Currently I am doing the hardest work I have ever done, but it is also incredibly rewarding. Every day is full of challenges. At times life is too painfully raw, but God reaches down to us in those times of great need and helps us to press on and offer hope.
