God Forgives
Romans
8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
My father...was always known for his particular brand of faith,
Men always came to me and say how much they are humbled by his fierce-
determination to save the damned.
I was but very little then, but
It was right that my mother felt the weight of his chastisement, and she was lucky to receive his cross.
I was but very little then, but I was made to understand-
She was bad...really bad, he said, they said
I can't remember her face, but I rejoice at the prospect that there were such Godly men,
who asked God to forgive what they could eternally not.
