A woman of dull understanding.

My grandfather was too intelligent, too much of a southern gentleman to call my "mother" what she was.  He did call her a woman of "dull understanding".  What he really meant was ; "Yo' ignut mama is dumb as a brick."

He would have been well within his rights to cuss her like a dog the way she did us.  But, he never did that.  He never called her a whore.  She marched a different man into the house EVERY NIGHT while her husband served overseas.  He watched her turn "whoredom" into "freaktum" and never said a mumbling word.

Did she really think she was that slick?  Did she think she was fooling us?  "Common", "common as bat s***!" That was the only comment made by most who knew her.  Then would turn around and march her common a** to church every Sunday!  Sitting just as proud on the front pew!

For some reason I think she thought "church attending" was a trade.  I think she thought GOD would let her do what she pleased because she was so pretty, so "yalla", her hair was so straight; "didn't have a kink in it."  She did what she pleased.  What ever her appetite dictated; man, woman, child, pre-teen, what ever.

She could  never be wrong.  Call her out if you wanted to.  You would be very lucky to crawl away bloody and bludgeoned with your life.  She pretended that we didn't see, didn't know.  We soon caught on and pretended the same.

Unfortunately we did not "live happily ever after".  She murdered my grandfather.  She sure did!   She thinks she got away with it.  I won't let her.

Her vicious brutal cruel treatment disguised by the word "mother" can't hide her any longer.  Her "goofer dust" ain't working and I found out there is Power in that name Jesus!

No matter what my grandfather always had perfect peace.  No matter what you did to him he always responded in a a Christ like manner.

His daughter was always a vicious ignorant primitive animal and he loved her dearly.  Admonished her kindly.  He got a bullet in the heart for his trouble.  So I thought.  Then one day I heard GOD say; "No, daughter! he got you!"

I am going to tell my story.  Every where I go I am going to proudly proclaim my testimony!

Stay in His WORD children.  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
