My LORD!

"How Great Thou Art!"  "Where would I be without the LORD on my side?"  Dear LORD, that heifer planned to do me in!  That whore  attempted to crucify me every day of my life!  Dear LORD, we live in a world where we can't trust our own loved ones! our own families!   You said in your WORD that our enemies would be of our own household!   She didn't try to destroy only me, she ambushed my entire family!   I am sure that it was only by the Grace of GOD that she saw fit to permit some of us to live.  Yes, we suffered daily, suffered mightily, but we lived.

Tortured, none the less.  Martha was not going to, never intended to, give up any evil proclivity that she  thought she could hide, pin successfully on someone else, throw into the sea of forgetfulness, fake amnesia, just don't generally give a flying f***,  whose f****** business is it anyway? , why people always got to bring up your past?  why can't people just forgive people?  why can't we live and let live? HONOR THY MOTHER AND father! GAWD said dey wud be dawthur 'gainst dawthur!, seem lak i cudden nevah lov him after he called me a 'ho dat time,…(on and on, every EXCUSE known and unknown to man!  Unfortunately not one shred of truth in her mouth concerning anything.  No, degrees, unless you count the little Secretarial Science Associates degree .

It was a baby step.  It was appreciated.  But it was still minimal. Your standards  were minimal at best for a woman in the rural south, born during the depression.  Women of quality and good rearing became school teachers.

My grandfather beamed, he actually glowed every time he crowed; "My Grand DAWTHUR A SCHOOL TEACHA' … She down dere in Atlanta, Gawga!  teaching school!" And just beam!Just grin like a Cheshire Cat!

As parents we can not determine how our children are going to turn out.  That is up to them.  That is Free Will, Existentialism, "The One Fold Path", it is what it is.

GOD grants us ONE life! It is our Life to live to the best of our ability.  Solely through an Accident of Birth some people may appear to have a better life.  Personally, I don't think any Life is better than another.  The quality may be different.  Living in a mud hut as compared to dining in the Swiss Alps on a Ski vacation, ... just different…but valuable to the person enjoying their lives.  You can find joy in both situations if you seek it.

Dear LORD, I am praying for this child. Your child that can not know you right now.  The child that satan holds by the throat.  Lying and manipulating, taking credit for GOD's gifts.  Take those blinders off LORD.  Unstop those ears!  Wake them up LORD.  No, LORD they are not that stupid and I pray that they are NOT that wicked.  GOD said No! Praise the LORD!
