RE: Memoir Monday week 13 How would you describe your faith journey?

in Silver Bloggers • 4 months ago

A bible in one hand and a shotgun in the other seems a sure way to preach to someone to get them doing what you want. You Dad sounded some character. And your mother switching religions like that seems a courageous thing to do. It is ironic I don't people preaching to me about anything, that maybe why I am not a big on religion so to speak, I have been caught up in so many wars around the war in the name of the religion, the only thing do is hurt the little guy.
A great entry and I always like hearing your memoirs and seeing your photos too!
Have a great week and don't forget we have a giveway going on to celebrate our third anniversary of Silver Bloggers. Celebration Time! We are Three - Happy Birthday Silver Bloggers!

        I have not seen wars personally but I understand what you are saying.
        I think my Mother enjoyed the fellowship she found in all religions but in her later years she did not go to Catholic Churches she stayed with Baptist and Pentecostal.
        My Dad was something else, that is for sure.
        Thank you for your kind words.

              A bible in one hand and a shotgun in the other

              That's the line that caught my eye, too.
              And of course the Pentecostals, slain by the Spirit, speaking in tongues...
              And the whole story: Dad gets custody of all five kids. This is unusual.
              Dad lectures, kids tune him out.
              In later years, who doesn't wish they'd listened more closely and learned more about Dad...
              Thanks for the memories, @myjob!
              I don't know if I could "Go There," with this one... I've shut down, but not enough. People continue to get mad at me and slam doors in my face, and I keep thinking I must be well underway with dementia, totally oblivious to how I sound or what I say and unable to even remember saying anything to cause these door slammings.
              If ever I know I have dementia, in a lucid moment, I will find my way to the river and slip away!!
              Sorry.
              See, this is why I stopped writing. :) But I'm glad you're still at it!
              God bless your mom, and all your loved ones.
