Hear Me Clearly, Beloved! Follow The Pattern! Follow The Recipe! Follow The Path! And In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ The Righteous, Heed The Word Of Almighty God ... Always!
Yes, Sis. Wright!!!
Rules, Rules, Rules! Follow This, Heed That! Don't Do This! See That You Do That! I'm So Sick Of This Keep-To-The-Pathway Religion!
Is That Truly How You Are Feeling, Cuddi!?!
Yes, It Is, Sis. Wright! There Are Too Many Do's And Don'ts, And A Person Has To Take Forever To Get To The Good Stuff, Which Is Enjoying Life Without All The Limits! I Just Want To Have Fun!
Sis. Wright!
Yes, Haddiyah!
Would You Please Ask Cuddi What's His Nickname, And Have Him Tell You The Story Of How He Got It!?!
Cuddi, It Sounds Like We're About To Have Story-Time! You Have The Floor!
Ahh, Sis. Wright, Maybe Another Time! It's Nothing Exciting Or Interesting!
Oh, My, Cuddi, Now I Really Want To Hear Your Story, And Why You're Still Resistant To Following Rules!
Haddiyah, Remind Me To Give You A Rotten Apple Later!
Sure Thing, Cuddi!
Sis. Wright, I'm Sorry To Say It, But My Well-Earned Nick-Name Is Short-Cut Which Is Kind Of Ironic Given That My Name Is Cuddi!
What Do You Mean!?!
Darden, My Friend, Don't Cows, Goats, And Sheep Chew Their Cuds!?! Don't They Follow The Lord's Plan And Chew Their Food As Directed For Their Benefit And, Therefore, Blessing!?!
Of Course, They Do!
Well, My Name Is Cuddi, And I Take Short-Cuts Which Always Blow Up In My Face And Cost Me More Than I Should Spend, But I Do It Anyhow Because Following Rules Take Too Long And I Have Places To Go, Other Things To Do, And Interesting People To Meet!
Oh, Dear, Cuddi, You Have Given Me A Perfect Opportunity To Teach Us All A Necessary Lesson For This Christian Life If We Are To Live On Hill Zion!
Brethren, Do You Remember What The Lord Told Moses Concerning The Tabernacle!?!
Yes, Calvin!
The Lord Was Emphatic When He Said To Moses: "See That Thou Follow The Instructions Given Thee In Mount!"
Sis. Wright, The Lord Does Not Do Short-Hand Nor Spew Vomit! His Words To Us Are Precise, Pointed, Practical, Perfect, And Beneficial To Give Us A, The, Blessing!
Did You Hear That Cuddi!?!
Yes, Sis. Wright, I Did, But ...!
... There Are No Buts When It Comes To Following The Word Of God And Getting Into His Kingdom!
You Either Follow Or Fall Out! Take Your Pick!
Yes, Sis. Wright!
Your Vehicle Runs On Premium Gasoline: Would You Put Diesel In Your Tank Because It Is Cheaper!?!
Haddiyah Started Whistling!
Why Are You Whistling, Haddiyah!?!
Ask Short-Cut, Sis. Wright!
You Didn't, Cuddi!
Yes, Sis. Wright, Another Premium Short-Cut!
Lord, Preserve Us!
AMEN!!!
Cuddi, Rules Are Not For Fools Despite What The Naysayers Bray! Rules, Commandments, Are Safe-Guards, Guard-Rails, Guide-Posts Put In Place To Bless Us As We Journey Home!
There Is No Home Of Peace, Joy, And Bliss At The End Of This Journey For Rule And Commandment Breakers, Aka Lawless People!
Your Present And Acknowledged Behavior Is Lawless And You Have Paid The Price ... Repeatedly! What Do You Now Have To Say For Yourself!?!
Lawlessness Is Sin, And I Not Only Sin Against God, But I Also Sin Against My Own Soul By The Bad Habits I Have Been Developing!
You Know, That Saying About Doing The Same Thing And Expecting A Different Result Is Madness, Perfectly Describes How I've Been Living!
Lord, I Confess My Sin Because I Now Truly Understand The Cost Of My Sin, And I Repent!
AMEN!!!
Brethren, I Sincerely Hope And Pray That We All Learn, Understand, Accept, And Act Wisely Concerning What We Have Learnt Today! Our Hope For A True, Bountiful, Beautiful Life Here, And Eternal Life Hereafter, Depends On It!
AMEN!!!
Peace!
