My grandfather was a tobacco farmer. He was a wizard with plants. He taught me how to grow things. No, he never tried to push his way of thinking or learning onto me. He taught by example. I learned by observing him.
"We the family inherited a great legacy and heritage, our lives have been made richer by having a father and uncle like him. He was a legend in his own time, a philosopher, a man full of wisdom. He taught by precept and example, a peace maker...." on and on she rambled his praises. THERE IS A GLARING DISCONNECT HERE! It is a fact! It is a crime of the highest magnitude! A clever demon she MURDERED her own father!
No, you never got away. You got a pass. GOD gave you time and space to repent.
"He taught us that it is not the quantity of a man's years, but the quality." That's what she put in the proud "Obsequiae" she wrote; "We the family wish to say the cuff link has been broken, but we know one day when the book is opened and Christ shall return, Jerome Walters' name is in the book. His last and fleeting breath..."When I get to the river, I got my letter, everything is alright, I got my letter and I can cross over."
First of all there was no "We the family". The bossy, take-over, "know-eva'thang" dictator took over the entire funeral. Never consulted one single person. Ran over her "brothers" like a Mack truck. Went out and bought herself four or five lavish outfits, made sure her long white Cadillac was washed, waxed and clean. Made sure the "photographer" took plenty pictures of her only.
GLARING MISTAKE #1 - How or why would a man that was as good as you claimed in that long five page obituary you wrote, kill himself!?
****Attention Readers! The rest of my journey to wholeness is in my biography. I am in search of an honest, dedicated agent, publisher, editor and professional typist. I know that GOD will continue to supply all my needs.
Stay in His WORD. GOD will work it out. Remember; "Apart from Christ you are nothing."
May GOD's Grace, Mercy, and Peace engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel
Sad story. It is truly amazing how one acquires such power over family, friends and community. But I also know many with strong take-charge and controling spirits. Most of us don't have the courage or endurance to continously battle with them, so we give in for peace sake. Most of us are afraid of crusading for the truth if we stand alone in the fight, even when others know we are right and actually agree. Some of them will even behind closed doors agree whole-heartedly with you. If you were to query them in the presence of that strong-willed individual would be silent or even act as Peter did. So I understand and admire your vigilance. Praise God!
ReplyDeleteIt was a "sad story". Now it is a Great Story! I am humbled and in awe. It is True! GOD will do just what He said. Thank you for your support! I know GOD is opening doors for me, putting like mined people in my path. The sad fact is "Sheer terror" was her only real weapon. So, she drags me to church every Sunday where I can learn about prayer, and an All knowing GOD...go figure... GOD is Good and has a sense of humor... :)
