"He maketh not ashamed."

What ever you do for GOD will last. You will be proud and you will be blessed.  The world wants you to believe "living right" is a waste of time.  That you are stupid.  That you better get yours.

This world will not tell you that you will end up too ashamed to live.  First of all make it clear who you are living for.  Get that straight in your mind.  If you are living for yourself.  If you are living for a fast get over and to exploit every one you can, you are wrong.

Don't let the world convince you that you must use your good looks and charm to exploit others.  In other words ladies, pay your own rent, pay your own car note.  Don't trade your body for money.  You will be ashamed.

Young men don't play the gigolo because women told you that you are fine, have good hair and they want to have your baby.  Never let a woman "keep" you.  You will be ashamed.

Do let GOD fight your battles.  Do pray for your enemies.  Pray that GOD will give you understanding, give you the ability to love and not hate.  Now listen carefully.  You can love from afar.  You don't have to sit up under your enemy pretending that you don't know of their low character.  Yes, forgive 70 times seven.  But, "Come ye out from among them." "Walk not in the counsel of the ungodly."

Dear LORD I thank you.  I thank You for Your WORD! I thank you for Jerome Walters.  I thank you for that man that held me in his lap, nurtured and loved me.  Planted the seeds of righteousness in my heart, took me to church, taught me to read and extrapolate the Bible.

"What manner of man is this?" refers to Jesus Christ.  But I can say the same thing about my grandfather.  "What manner of man is this?" that loved and cared for his "illegitimate" grandchildren, treated them like royalty.  Loved on them, showered them with blessings.  "What manner of man is this" that beamed with pride and joy over every accomplishment we made?

Dear LORD I thank you for planting Jerome Walters in my life.  Thank you for creating a good man, a sanctified Holy Ghost filled man.  Thank you for his wisdom and kind admonishments.

Jerome Walters could not help his son that was murdered February 10, 1939.  He could not help that wayward daughter that refused to be corrected, that refused to live right.  I am sure Jerome Walters never knew that she hid deep sicking hatred for him in her heart.  He never knew that the daughter he willed his house to, thirty acres of land  to,  would one day prove to be the most demonic woman that ever lived.

No matter what my mother said to him, no matter how she mistreated him or cursed him, my granddaddy took it.  He sat on this porch every day as that evening sun slowly went down in Wade, NC, peacefully reading his Bible.  Leaning back in his straight backed cane bottomed chair, he read, he studied, he prayed.

No matter what problem I had, no matter what upset me and had me seething with anger.  My grandfather always said the same thing; "Don't worry dawthur, Jesus will fix it."  Nothing rattled my grandfather.  He watched his daughter's lascivious life.  Watched her whore and prostitute.  Never denied her a dime when she went begging to him every month of her life because she could never pay her bills.

I am sure just like us, granddaddy had no idea how she was betraying him, deliberately hurting us for her sick sadist pleasure.  Secretly blaming us for her mistakes, her bad choices.

The Bible says that a good man will leave and inheritance for his children and his children's children.  My grandfather did.  He left 65 acres of land , a rambling ranch house, a man made lake.  My grandfather epitomized the best and brightest of all mankind.  I thank GOD every day for making Jerome Walters my grandfather.

Granddaddy did not know, could not know that poor foolish Mathy Jane, his foolish daughter that never did anything he asked her to, would one day murder him.  The devil maketh ashamed.  The devil fogged up Mathy's brain and she took and old rusty .38 and shot my grandfather in the heart.  Always the fool, always the riotous violent scheming fool, she selected February 10, 1979 to commit her most demonic deed.

Did she think she was going to get away?  Did she think her "hoodoo voodoo goofer dust" would keep us blind?  Did she think her extreme cruelty and brutality would keep all of our mouths shut forever?

Young people, all people, I advise you to live right, to love the LORD.  GOD will bless you.  You will always feel good about yourself.  You will sing in the sunshine and carry tremendous joy in your heart all the days of your life.  You will never have to worry about money because GOD will make a way.

Dear children love the LORD and live right because He maketh not ashamed.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember:"Apart from Christ we are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel Gwendolyn (the exceedingly proud granddaughter of a great Patriarch, JEROME WALTERS)
