I am so glad I sat up under my granddaddy. It is evident that I was born to be a daddy's girl. Having no daddy in evidence, I gravitated to that old man that changed my diapers, was my cradle and rocking chair.
My mother always described my four year experience as "dumping". While Mathy Jane was "dumping", doing her thing, which was nothing. I was learning, listening, paying attention, heeding.
I did surprise my granddaddy. So, much so, to the point that he bragged.
This has been a good ride. I learned a lot. I never dreamed that I would ever question the "church".
The world catches a "bishop" wearing a red suit, throwing money, making it "rain", leads a huge march against homosexuality. And the world says nothing.
Did we forget? Sweep under the rug? Forget? Or did we just "So what?"?
Are we all blind? Are we all stupid? Our laws say one thing, our behavior says another. What happened to "love thy neighbor"? "Judge not that you be not judged'?
All men are encouraged to be "players" and all women, the Virgin Mary.
It will not work. There is going to be a problem. THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME AGONY! Some one is going to break rank. Some one is going to tell!
Perhaps I am naive?
Fear is an awful thing. I used to say it towards my brother ( in his direction). He looked at me like; "Yea, right."
"Little faith"?
No!
On that narrow road.
