    I just admitted my views of organized religion to my mom the other day and it didn't go well.

    I felt that way too at one point. I had no clue what they would think or how they would view me after that. Then one day i told them and everything was okay. They were interested and still loved me no matter what. I was worrying for no reason.

    My birth-mother tried to throw me in a river when my father left her because she cheated.
    My Paternal Grandmother saved me that night.
    My birth-mother abandonded me.
    My Paternal Grandmother took me in.
    My first step-mother regularly beat me and once locked me in a room for two weeks when I was five years old.
    My Paternal Grandmother found out and rescued me.
    My step-mother would leave me in charge of my three younger sibilings when I was six years old and beat me and blame me if they did anything wrong.
    My step-mother's mother constantly ridiculed me and put me down when I was a small child.
    My Paternal Grandmother taught me mercy.
    After all this I felt like I was never good enough for anything, didn't measure up to others, and that everything bad that happened was always my fault.
    My Paternal Grandmother always made me feel special and loved.
    My Paternal Grandmother taught me to look at the whole picture before coming to any conclusions.
    My Paternal Grandmother could not read or write but was the wisest person I have ever known.
    Thank God, Thank God, Thank God for my Paternal Grandmother. She is the reason I'm alive and is responsible for the man I am today. And yes, I'm tearing up as I type this.

    Blessings.........Pastorjim

    I admit that I have written a post for this thread three times and deleted it. It scares the hell out of me.

    - I also enjoy watching The Voice.
    - I enjoy scripted "reality" shows like Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, etc.
    - Walking in the woods before daylight and after sunset makes me nervous.

    To be continued again....
