The S.E.W. Club

It Was The Day Of The Grand Opening Of The S.E.W Club

And

All The Mekkers, Sewists, Seamstresses, Tailors

Botchers And Wannabe's
Pattern-Makers, Fashion Manipulators
The Curious 
And 
The Downright Creepy Who Attend Every Cat-Fight

Were Buzz, Buzz, Buzzing

And

Well Before The Scheduled Time
They Were All At The Entrance

Eagerly Awaiting The Red Door's Opening! 

Everybody Wanted To Be First Through That Door

Because

Based Upon The News From The Print
Social And Electronic Media

And

The Always Profitable 
Though Not Always Accurate  Word Of Mouth

About  The Popular Sewing Clubs In Other Places

A Free And Fancy Education

Plus A Big, Beautiful, Sewing Bible

A 24/7 On-Call Counsellor

Strong Influencers To Get You Where You Were Going

And

Personal, Private, Guaranteed Access 
To The Grand Designer, Himself

Were Perfect Perks Offered ... And Positively Available

To All Participants! 

Some Doubting Thomas In The Midst Of Those Gathered

Wanted To Know What Was The Catch!?! 

Why All The Freeness!?! 

And

What's In It For This So-Called Great Designer

That No One Has Ever Seen In Person

Nor For Whom Is There  A Memorialized Image 
On The Nosy Public Record!?! 

Well, Let Me Tell You Something! 

Marcelina Levi Jump In That 
Loose-Lipped Lackey's Skin Rough, Rough
- Her Words, Not Mine -

And

Called Him A Judas-Goat

And Other Things Unimaginable And Improbable

And Questioned His Origins 

And Told Him His Likely Destination

For Wanting To Deny Poor People

A Very Good And Costly 

Free And Freely Available Opportunity

To Better Themselves And Their Families

And 
Their Needy Communities! 

That Disabused Devil Soon Slunk Away

With His Non-Existent Tail Between His Legs! 

Anyway ...

While That Great Mass Of People Waited

You Could Hear Snippets Of The Various Conversations

One Of Which Was Repeated 
And 
Prominent For Its Call To Greed! 

Everybody Was Talking About All The Free Things 

Needles, Threads, Embellishments

Patterns, Expert Instruction

And

The Premium, Exclusive, One Of Its Kind
Private Label, Bespoke Garment 

That Is To Be Issued To Each Person ... Personally

Who Successfully Completed The Course! 

Well ... The Door Opened!

The People Rushed To Enter!

They Took Their Seats!

The Teacher Spoke
And

The Grabbits And The Gottits Got Up And Walked Out

When It Was Revealed That The S.E.W Club

Had Not One Single Solitary Thing To Do With Sewing

But

Was Everything To Do With

The Soul's Eternal Welfare! 

As Never-Idle Time Passed
The Rootless

The Groundless

The Easily Pricked

Fell Out Along The Way

And Soon

Only Those Expressing Genuine Need
Those Who Trusted The Teacher
Those Who Had Faith In The Process
Those Who Persevered Though Tired And Often Weak
Those Who Endured And Overcame All The Challenges
And
The Good Influencers Who Helped Them To Success
Remained At The End Of The Course! 

The Overcomers

Have An Engraved Pass

To Enter By Right

The Great Designers Glorious Home

When He Calls For Them

On The Day Of His Appointing! 

Food For Thought:

There Is No Other Name Among Men 
Whereby We May Be Saved 

Except For The Great And Wonderful Name Of Christ Jesus! 

We All ... Who Will To Be Truly Saved

Must Take The Plunge 

And 

Wash In The Blood Of Jesus 

If 

We Will Be Called Up To His Side In The Great Day 

And 

Ultimately Drink Of The Water Of The River Of Life 

And 

Eat From The Tree Of Life 

In The Presence Of Him 

Who Is The Lord 
And 
The Sure Light Of Life!

Only Jesus Christ Saves 

From Deadly Sin

From Deceitful Self

From Destructive Satan

And 

From Death And Damnation! 

The Hand Of Hope, Help And Healing 
Is 

Lovingly Extended To Us

The Offer Of Sure Salvation Is Available To Us

And 

The Still, Small, Voice Of The Sweet Spirit Of Truth 

Is 

Tenderly Calling Unto Us! 

Please Answer "Yes, Lord!" 

And 

Accept The Holy Hand! 

Peace In Paradise 
Is 
Guaranteed ... And Eternal!

Except We Are Connected To Christ Jesus 

We Are But Living Deads! 

Indeed ... And I Am Sure That You Know 
And 

Can See That Those Living Deads 

Are Aggressively Walking And Working Among Us

And 

Are Willfully, Maliciously
Leaving The Stench Of Their Vile Lives 

To Taint The Air 

And 

Poison The Minds Of People Everywhere!

They Are Even Willing To Kill
To Have Their Benighted Lusts Satisfied! 

Jesus Loves Us Unconditionally 

But 

He Will Never Accept Us Choosing Sin Over Salvation! 

We Who Are The True Believers
Have To Cut Up The Sin Charge Card 

And 

Close That Account Permanently

And 
Get ... As In Open ... The Master's Card Account 

Which Gives Us A Permanent Visa 

To The Eternal World Of Discovery! 

It's A Citizen's Express Card

And

No Past Sinner-Current Saint

Can Get Into The Eternal City Without It! 

Brethren, 

What's In Your Wallet Aka Your Heart!?! 

Will It Hold You Fast To Jesus Christ!?! 

Will It Help You To Stand Strong In The Holy Faith!?! 
Please Make Sure That You Know  ... For Sure
That Your's Is The Master's Card
Before You Bid This Dark World Good Night!

Really Living Dead!

I Stand Before You 
As
A Dead Person!
Not Any Old Pedestrian Dead
BUT 
A Person - According To The Bible
Who Is 
By Choice
Dead 
To The Call Of This World
Where All Sinful Lusts Are 
With Pious Devotion
Fed!

I've Tasted Of 
The World's Sweet Meats
Which Gregariously Pulled Me
Away From God 
AND WHICH
Without Fail
Left In My Mouth
A Bitter After-Taste
AND
A Sour Stomach 
On Riotous Repeat!

From The Reading Of The Holy Scriptures
I Know That
- If Left Unrepented
AND
Unconfessed -
All Known Sin
Is Going To Rear Up
In Accusation
Against Me When 
The Great Judge Of The Earth 
We Meet!

Only Problem, Though
When We Finally Face 
The Judgement Bar 
Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
It Will Be Too Late
To Confess Our Sins
OR 
"Try" To Make A Passing Excuse
AND
For This Very Reason
I Choose NOW
To Be Dead To The World
NOW
AND
To Be Alive In Jesus Christ
So That In That Great Day
I Will Not Be Among The Rejected
Who
- In Fact -
Are Accounted To The Kingdom
As Total Cast Outs!
The Ejected!

I Implore You, Therefore, Brethren ...

Let Us Live 
In The World
BUT
Not Be 
A Part Of It!

Let Us Be The Salt That Flavors
That Points The Taste-buds Of Others
 To Jesus Christ!

Let Us, Therefore
Lift Up The Savior
So That His Mercy And Grace
Will Enlarge Us
As We - By Right Living -
Set Stones In The Path Called 
The Holy Way
AND
Then Lift Us Up To Glory On
That Great And Glorious Day!

Are YOU 
Really 
Truly 
As A Born-Again 
United-With-Christ Christian
Living ... DEAD
To This World?!
