Is it not that person choice. personal myself as a christian, what in the world would a true christian want to hang around here for. I would rather be in a hurry to find out what Jesus died for and what is in stored for me!
"Hallelujah" my mother could not wait to close those eyes, and I told her too, "tell everybody I'm coming too!! I told my wife she better not put me on life support. Doctors could not believe the words that came out of her mouth, when they said she was dying, She shouted!! Hallelujah "I'm going home" "Thank you Jesus" she said.
Me and my mother have been talking and singing about "Glory" for long as i can remember, before i became "Born from above" bad as i was, I knew i was a Child of GOD! My mother as i got older "she would cry and pray and call neighbors, Baptist, Methodist, Jehovah Witnesses, saints and Jews, pray for my son, They planted me and my younger brother name on the "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem" I told her, mama, keep on praying! And while you are praying, I am going to keep on sinning! I love them Muscle cars, Motorcycles, and "High Spirited horses." and Full Contact Karate, Judo, and Jujitsu and crazy about them "pretty women" all nationality, Small ones, short ones, large one, medium size, skinny ones, i didn't have a Prejudice bone in my body. I was a full blow sinner! Boys Scout, Explorer, I grow up and my mother and father taught me how to cook better than any cook, and clean house better than any woman, wash clothes and iron just as good as any cleaners. Uncles to fix and run a business from the back door to the front. But a stone sinner and knew it, but some how a love GOD in my own way, I would smoke weed, get high and start to cry, and talk about Jesus! I got full of the "Holy Sprirt" saved while I was high on" "Columbia Gold" and went home and toss it all down the Toilet my wife thought i had loss my mind!!!! JESUS!! i was not in a church, i did not care about any preachers or deacons or anything they had to say. I just told Jesus, if you are real, you have to reveal yourself to me! and then I would serve you!!! He did, He FILLED Me with The power of GOD! They said: I went from dark to light! I cannot tell you how many followed, there where testimonies, everywhere, what happen to him, and people started to tell the story, men and kids i heard was crying and coming to Christ. And me and my mother talked about that journey as she was dying on her death bed. and as she laid there and sometimes would come out her coma, she would look at me, and we would sing and sometimes i would pray, and she would call my name, and say how she feels the power of God reaching Heaven throne. I watch her, give up the Ghost. I had our music playing as if heaven open the door. and she doesn't live here anymore. Our house was not perfect, they were not perfect parents, in their last years i told both of them that i love them, although my mother whip me a lot of days, She apologize a many days too, but i told both of them, although my dad would get drunk sometimes. He apologized a lot to and would cry at night, he said he did not know any better, I told them If i had the choice to choose my parents again, i choose them, with all the sorry and pain. I told them, they did the best they could, for we are all are sinners. Some save by grace some are not. because it is by grace that you are saved.
sorry for the longevity.
