All I know is ...

GOD will show up and when He shows up "He will sho' sho' out!".  "He WILL Sho' Out!" I tell you.  Live for that day.  Hold on to that promise.  Live right, GOD will bless you.

I was fortunate enough to grow up in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  A very southern sleepy military town.  A stepping stone from Fort Bragg and twelve miles from the "country" gave me a very unique heritage.

My mother married a soldier and as such I was exposed to the best schools and facilities.  My grandfather's tobacco farm was a treasure.  I guess you can call me a "little bit country",  highly educated, widely read, culturally diverse, extremely liberal and very analytical.

When I look back over my life I can see that I had everything going for me.  A bright intuitive mind, nice looking, if I do say so myself.  No life is perfect.  I believe that every person is going to have some difficulty, some sadness, perhaps some tragedy.

If you are new to my blog you may not know that I survived the most demonic mother any person could ever possibly be plagued with.  Truly a sick demented monster, there is little hope for her.  The good news is, I DO NOT HATE HER! GOD took that burden from me.  I prayed, asked Him, simple as that.

One thing I've learned on my sixty-one year journey.  You can not control any one on this earth.  You can talk and beg until you are blue in the face.  If they don't want to hear you, they are not going to hear you.  You must work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

The first thing that you must do is love the LORD!  Stop, don't go any further if you can't love GOD.  If all you can do is give GOD some lip service.  If GOD is not for you, if you really don't get it.  Don't waste your time.  Remember GOD told you "Be ye hot or cold or I will spew you out of my mouth."

Please don't be a hypocrite.  Don't run to church every Sunday, busting the doors down while living a rank carnal life.  If you really want to live right, pray.  Ask GOD for His strength, His wisdom.

When you see or witness the worse people prospering, don't worry about that.  Don't concern yourself. When evil people mistreat you, put stumbling blocks in you way, pray for them.  For real.  My grandfather taught me that.  He was so right.  "Pray fa' yo' enemies dawthur."

Don't be fooled by my grandfather's patois.  He was never formally educated, but he was a brilliant man.  He was a wise philosopher.  He never told me wrong.  He never steered me wrong.  His wise counsel has taken me a mighty long way.

My mother on the other hand deliberately tried to ruin my life.  It didn't work.  She only succeeded in ruining her own life.  Now, my family looks like a train wreck.  But, it is not over for my brothers.  They can come to the marvelous light.  They still have the opportunity to come to GOD's Gospel Truth.

I know how they feel about her.  She is a woman that you can't love.  She won't let you.  You can only fear her and hope that she will break you off some change.  "Some change" is all you are going to get.  She is still stingy and tight "waddish".  She gambles so she doesn't have much left for you.

I thank GOD for her.  I surely do.  If you are like me you can learn a lot from her misspent life.  You can learn what not to do.  Most of all you will never be content to be a phony "Christian".

Live right to just live right.  Love the LORD with all your heart, mind and soul.  Speak GOD's Truth boldly.  I know that GOD will keep a "ram in the bushes" just for you.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember'"Apart for Christ you are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf yu, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
