What can we learn from Sundays in the 1950's?

I loved this post written by Courtney over at Women Living Well. There is so much about the 50's that I wish we would return to. It is a commandment to keep the Sabbath Day holy, but in today's world, that seems to mean very little.
Here's a little exerpt from Courtney's post.

-"Life was different in the 50's. In Ohio, there was a Blue Law that required stores and most places of work and business to be closed. This made it possible for most people to be in church. My father recalls that almost everyone went to church. This social expectation even crossed into the classroom. My father recalls his public school 5th grade teacher asking on Monday mornings who went to church and they had to raise their hands. His family sometimes missed and he was a little embarrassed he couldn't raise his hand - could you imagine that now in our schools?"
