Gee, where do I start, the Lord has been with me all my life, kept me out of more trouble than what meets the eye. Born feet first, ran like the dickens, wild as hell and always a hard worker. It's like I have a unique relationship with my maker without ever knowing about it. I was the pride and joy of my blessed virgin mother Lillie; she was so proud of me. Like Joseph, Luther was my stepfather, and a hard man to understand.
As I grew older, lost all interest in church. My rebellion stems from my hatred for organized religion, they want us to fully support them with our tithes and offerings whereas Paul said if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. This eliminates tithes as scripture states; it was all voluntary including accolades and respect unto the needs of others. Thus, I became a habitual backslider, drinking myself stupid without any cares or regard to how others felt. I remember my ex-wife would break down into tears because I became that person, she has never met. The coldness of my heart had set in and hadn't a care in the world. They say when one relapses, they become seven times to the worst. I could tell I was a monster inside, just couldn't relate or convey it to anyone. Since my life consists of relapses, it seems like I became four hundred, ninety times more dilapidated than before.
It was my full intentions to sue my family when I came back, then I wanted a reunion, dissolution, hate, love, murder, caring, like the yoyo that I am. Upon my arrive in Portland, I felt damned because of a snide remark to one of my daughters. Hopefully she didn't get it, but God did. It's an unforgivable sin because we are supposed to bless our children, not mock at their cursing. It haunted me like a vicious hound dog, knowing what hell is like but nothing I can do to save my soul. I would fall asleep shaken in a dreadful fear, only to wake up the next morning feeling redeemed. My anger was continuously lingering, tormenting me into an abyss of hatred.
I was so possessed most of my twenty-some-odd years the devil didn't want to let go. For the first time in my life, I was guilt ridden into a wet flimsy state of fear. Scared shitless with only my imaginations of what torments awaited me, I got to the point to where I was ready to face my fears and dive right on into that chasm. But then God got a hold of me, the miracle of my life. It was like a rigorous transformation from this demon to becoming a saint, canonized and all. In total, my endeavor has been like a baptism in the fury of this intense heat we call hell. Instead, it was the plunging of my soul into a never-ending zeal for my one and only wise God, the Prince Of peace, King of kings and Lord of Lords is He. The other Secret names are Wonderful, Counselor, the great I am and He is coming with a name no man knows. What a glorious and terrible day that will be...
