"God is good. I don't jack idiots up anymore. How thick we are...humans. How utterly full of maliciousness...you know, the 'subtle' kind. The kind hidden behind a smile, smooth fluffy words. flattery. Somebody gimme a spoon cuz I'm gonna gag.

In one breath we say 'Jesus', holler halleluia, and jump shouting praises, maybe even swoon for effect. In the next breath we are just plain ig'nant. Rude, nasty, and make it oh so clear that there are 'those' diff'rent than us. With a passing 'God bless you' we dismiss them and leave them to their misery, not owning that we just added to it.

There are some monsters in the world. And I don't mean the kind that have a right to be that way. They are who they are and they don't deny it. It's the kind that would never see themselves that way..cuz they are 'decent' folk.

The 'destroying' they do is more vicious because it's more subtle. Veiled in secrecy, doled out in 'code'. It's so much more damaging that way.

God help us."

"I be gettin' tired o' this pit. Darkness is losin' its 'charm'. Whispers of despair and hopelessness got some nerve. Who you think y'all are talkin' to? I been listenin' to yer lies and believin' them like they was gospel. Just who do you think you are, sneakin' in here and kickin' folks when they're down? Partyin' over my huddled up crumpled soul? Dancin' on the pieces of my heart strewn on the floor....

Thought I was a 'goner' didn't ya'? So did I. Almost made me forget I got me some armour. That my hands were taught to war, and that my Teacher is the best. That you are of no consequence. That He is a Lifter of my Head, my Fortress, and my Strong Tower. He is my Sheild, my Defender, my Protector.

So if you got somethin' to say....say it to Him."

Okay...these are the ones I use a lot at home.

"You snooze, you loose"
"Yeah, Yeah...keep your knickers on!"
"And...your point would be?"
"Hey, Whatever floats your boat"
"I'm a mother, but I'm not your mother"
"And you're telling me this... why?"
"Ladies first" <~~~I say this to young men/boys who push through the door I have open and am trying to go through with my children.
"Smack!" <~~~This one is my reply for smart aleck comments. And yes...it does have a hand gesture.

Well...that is it for now. I'm not on my computer and I can see my husband pacing out of one of the eyes I have in the back of my head.

Amos 5:21-24

"I hate all your show and pretense--the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won't even notice all your choice peace offerings. Away with your hymns of praise! They are only noise to my ears. I will not listen to your music, no matter how lovely it is. Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, a river of righteous living that will never run dry."
