Yea I know SB is kinda Christian Religion, but they (SB's) tend to be more of the Holy Roller Types like Pentecostals. I still have my Bible my mom got us kids growing up from Oral Roberts University and with Pentecostals bible studies at our home while the ol'man was out on a Bender. So while raising our Children my kids mom was kind of a floosy, in 1986 she filed for a divorce while I was in Florida doing a sheet metal job with my dad. So we separated and played that divorce game Bull Chit..
9 years I stayed away from the Bottle and devels brew only to find out I still wasn't the only man she wanted So in 97 I cut ties with her and the Church.. moved to the Big City of Springfield IL and started over. I started bouncing from Church to Church on Sundays, sometimes half drunk and hollow eyed wearing leathers riding my Harley, just to see the reaction I'd get from the congregations. I found the Black Church Goers accepted me far better then most all the white church folks? I found a really down to earth church settled into it for a few years and really enjoyed the congregation and atmosphere. I settled down so much I ended up getting remarried to a Preachers Daughter (Red Head to Boot) and she played the Piano and Organ.. couldn't hold a job for longer then 6 months anywhere she went? she convinced me that this church was full of backstabbing people? So we parted from that Church. Aww Hell I could write a book on my Church Gong experiences.. LOL
Bottom Line I do just fine with my one on one's with my Lord Jesus Christ and don't need no religion nor pastor to tell me what I already learnt along the way. I go straight to the source and cut out the middle man with the Spins...
