according to the folks down here, it don't matter what you do in life, as long as you sincerely give yourself over to Jay-sus before you die. If you do that, God will forgive ALL your sins and you get a plum spot in heaven.
That's what my cousin by marriage Bobby did, he who figured so prominently in my story "Fat Bitch Doughnuts." As my mother once said of him "The Devil ain't got no better servant than Bobby!" She said that based mainly on his penchant for cussing, and as momma called it, "bad cussing" - meaning taking the Lord's name in vain and using the f-word. Momma takes a very dim view of cussing and somehow believes that bad cussing is a sign of influence of the Old Scratch. When she said that about Bobby being the Devil's servant, I pointed out to her that our other cousin Tommy and my own brother, Momma's oldest son cusses everyday as bad or worse than Bobby. She was silent for about 30 seconds until she said "Well, I pray for all of 'em ever day." Two weeks before he died, Bobby accepted Jesus and Momma was satisfied he went to heaven as a result. I think about it sometimes. I think it would be a fine thing to be in heaven since Marshy and Company won't be there, them bein' Hindus and all and not believing in Jay-sus. I reckon Marshy is someplace else, maybe schmoozing with Hitler whom he admired in life. ________________________________ From: "emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 4, 2014 10:45 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Wedding Invitation from Seville, Spain Michael slays: "... as we common folk in the South like to call it ..." Since yer a Southern boy, how come you haven't taken Jesus into your heart like you shoulda? Instead you played with the hindoo demons and were shafted by the TMO. No doubt you were unique in that regard. Why won't you just get down on yer knees and pray Jesus for forgiveness. Yer still playing with the demons here on FFL and you don't want to admit it to yerself. We could, of course, send a few yer way. Got demon?
