THIS OLD HOUSE



Ever since I arrived in this part of the country
in 1973 I have been fascinated by this house.
Why, I don't know.

It is located on Hwy. 412 East of Hindsville, AR.
Very likely it was occupied at that time.  Then
Hwy. 412 was only a two lane Hwy. in front of 
it.  But when the Hwy. was moved a few hundred
feet from it and made into a four lane divided Hwy.
possibly it was vacated then.
[If evolution worked, it would be improving,
instead of getting worse.]

But, my point is;
it reminds me of a song written by 
Stuart Hamblen back in the 1950's.
The chorus goes like this:

"Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Im a-gettin' ready to meet the saints"

It is obvious that Mr. Hamblen was influenced
by the Scripture where the apostle Paul was
writing to those who were in a relationship
with Jesus Christ when he said;

"For we know that when this
earthly tent we live in is taken
down (that is, when we die and
leave this earthly body), we will have
a house in heaven, an eternal body
made for us by God himself and not
by human hands."
(2 Corinthians 5:1 NLT)
