Sow And Grow Meets Reap And Eat!

I've Got Seeds!

Seed Seeds Or Word Seeds?!

Come On!
Words Aren't Seeds!

Says You!
And You Are Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

Prove It!

Okie, Dokie!
You Are A Lovely Person
And Really Smart!

Why Thank You!
You Are A Beautiful Spirit!

SEED!

You're Kinda Special!
Two Screws Loose!
Elevator Stuck On Thirteen!

Just Like Your Mother!

Just Like Your Aunt Paul!

Yuh Fada Sista!

SEED! SEED! SEED!

Good Lord!

Please Explain This!

I Didn't Know This Seed Business
And Already I Don't Like It!

Okay!

When You Plant A Good Seed
What Do You Get?!

Almighty God Willing, A Good Harvest!

Before It Gets To The Harvest
What Does Your Seed Do?!

• Send Down Roots
• Raise Up A Trunk
• Extend Branches And Stems
• Grow Leaves
• Show Blossoms
• Yield Up Fruit

Very Good!

Now ... Tell Me What Happened
When I Said Something Nice To You?!

I Was Blessed
And I Said Something Nice In Return!

And When I Said Something Not Very Nice?!

I Was Affronted
And I Sought To Offend You
And You Offended Me, Again
And I Offended You, Again ...!

... Oh, Dear!

And What Did I Say!

Seed! Seed! Seed! 

A Word
Good Or Bad
IS
A Seed
To Do Good Or Ill!

This IS Very Distressing!

Why Is That?!

Because I've Been Firing Off My Mouth Recently!

Interesting Expression, Don't You Think!?!

Indeed!

A Loaded Gun
In A Careless
Angry
Willful
Uncaring Hand
Causes A Kill!

A Loaded Mouth
The Red Rag Unregenerated
AND
Lit By The Fires Of Hell
AND
Raging
Shoots Bullets
Which Kill Just As Dead!

I Can See That!!
How Do You Stop It!

The Savior IS Waiting

To Enter Your Heart! 

Let God's Holy Spirit Enter In!

Don't Let Anger Pride
Lust Covetousness
Willfulness Gainsaying
Arrogance Aggression
AND
Self
Plant Seeds
AND
Grow Fruit
That You Don't Ever Want To Eat!

Remember The Adage:

You Reap What You Sow!

You Eat What You Grow!

I Never Understood What That Meant ...!

... Until Now!

I Know What You Mean!

Live And Learn, Brethren!
Live AND Learn!

AMEN!!!

The Nature Of Forgiveness

Thirty Years
Nine Month
Three Weeks
Six Days
Twenty-one Hours
Fifty-two Minutes
AND
Fifty-eight Seconds Ago
My Best Friend
Brother
Mother
Uncle
Cousin
Teacher
Grandmother
Neighbor
Did Something To Me
AND
I Ain't Forget It Yet!

I Forgave Them,  Thank God!
BUT
I Ain't Forget It ... Yet!

Don't Get Me Wrong!
I Know That
To Err Is Human
AND
To Forgive 
Is A Gift To Me From God So Divine!
THAT ASIDE
I'm Just Waiting 
For Them
To Make The Second Mistake
AND
Believe You Me
I'm Going To Unmake Them Backside 
AND
I Swear To God
Every Thing That I've Got Up In My Chest
I'm Letting It All Out
With Both Barrels!

Is That Right!?!

You Betcha!

Ahem! Ahem!

Is Something Wrong With You?!

YOU.

Me!?!?

Yes.

What did I Do?!

Quite A Bit, I Must Say!
Didn't I Hear You Say That You Are A True Bible-Believing Christian!
"King James All The Way!"

Hmmmnn ...

What Did Jesus Tell Peter?

He Said Something About Forgiving Your Brother 70 times 7.

What Did You Learn From That Statement?

Jesus Said Forgive!  He Ain't Say A Thing About Forgetting!!

Really!?!
My, My, My!
You May Want To Go Check Out Your Bible A Bit Better!

Huh?!

Bye, Bye!

Later That Night ...

No-Rest And Cassietta Went To War!

No-Rest Won!

Dear Lord,

Forgive Me My Trespasses 

As I ... Forgive Those ... Who 

Trespass 

Against ... ME

And ...

AND ...

OH, LORD!

Father, If You Forgive Me

How I Forgive People

I ... Am ...

Oh, Dear ...

FATHER !!!

I AM LOST!

Father, I Am So Sorry

For Asking For What I Won't Give

Forgiveness and Forgetfulness From You

While I Deny It To Kith And Kin!

I Am So Sorry, Lord!

I Did Not Understand

But 

Now That I Have Your Word 

Diligently Reviewed

I Understand That

There Is No Forgiveness For Me

If I Don't Forgive Others 

Their Trespasses Against Me, Too!

Help Me, Lord

To Do Unto Others As I Would

That They Would Do Unto Me

And

Help Me To Live

True

To The Light 

You've Given

Plainly 

Into My Carnal Eyesight.

I Love You, Lord.

AMEN.

God's Forgiveness

IS

God's Forgetfulness!!

Psalm 103:8-14 King James Version (KJV)

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
