Yes, there is a time to weep, a time to cry ...

to laugh, to learn. There is a time to let go. PRAISE THE LORD! Please do not let some imp talk you out of loving and trusting in Our LORD Jesus Christ.  [HE] is REAL!  I KNOW [HE} IS REAL!

I am so humbled right now, I can barely type for the tears flooding my eyes with pure joy. Sure, I suffered that monstrosity for sixty-two years.  So! If not her, some other imp would have slayed me. Or worse,  with out witnessing my mother's total depravity I would have been extremely naive like most people.  Just another blind, unread sheep.

I was barely fourteen and my mother was "preaching", spouting her knowledge of the Bible. "Honor thy MOTHER that yo' life might be long on this earth ... yada, yada, "

I remembering completing that scripture from memory; "And parents PROVOKE  not your children,to wrath,  less they become (dis-encouraged) discouraged ."  My mother responded immediately , half laughing; "SMART ASS BITCH!"

The gig was up for me, my antenna went up and I remember thinking ; "Wow! Evil people can use GOD's Word against the gullible and deliberately unread."  From that moment on I was determined to READ MY BIBLE FOR MYSELF!

"Come ye out from among them."

P.S.
The Holy Spirit does not give a shit about cussing, touching yourself, homosexuality, gambling, drinking, smoking.  That is man piling on that bullshit that he doesn't do himself. Read the book of Matthew, learn what GOD says about these vipers.
