He said he was raised in Southern Louisiana, they eat monkeys there I heard.
You've got that right!!!
I don't know what y'all do in your part of the country, but where I come from if a man is driving home and sees some roadkill drying out on the road in the hot South Louisiana sunshine, we just call home to our wife and say, "Honey, put on a pot of rice. I'm bringing supper home!" Nothing goes to waste in south Louisiana! NOTHING!!!

Dude, roadkill is God's way of feeding the buzzards.

I want to say a very sincere Thank You to all of you here on AFF for your patience, advice and prayers for me since I came aboard a couple of months ago.
When I first stumbled across this forum, it was by accident really. I'm an ex-UPCer and (I don't mean that in a derogatory sense by any means) when I first arrived here I honestly did not think of myself as being bitter or hostile toward the UPC organization. However, I found myself lashing out and just being downright rude and crude toward those of you who are and toward the organization in general. One person who really tried to talk to me and in a spirit of love, help me to see my bitterness, was Brother Rico. Anyway, I pushed the issue until I finally spent a week in Banland.
During that time, I really had time to meditate on where I was at and the Lord convicted me deeply of my issues with somethings that happened way back when and I surrendered all of that to Him.
My point in this note though is that I just want to thank you all for putting up with me and if you prayed for me, thank you. It has certainly helped me recognize how wrong I was and give it to the Lord and I want to sincerely say to each of you that I love you in Christ and regardless of any differences that we may have, if you are His, then I consider you my brothers and sisters in Him.
May God's abundant grace and blessings rest upon every aspect of each one of your lives and ministry.

Pastor Robbie,
So glad you are here. It is very 'eye-opening' for sure to read what you posted and say, "Where did that come from, I thought I was over that". This forum is good for many things, and soul-searching is just one.

Rhoni,
Thanks for your kindness and it's great to be here. God bless you as well!
God Bless you bro. I know that I have had to do a bit of soul-searching myself. It seems that it is very easy to use the magnifying glasses, binoculars, microscopes, and telescopes...and very difficult to use the mirror. Oh me!

You're so right. However, when the magnifying glasses and binoculars, microscopes and telescopes are suddenly yanked out of your hands, then you can finally see the mirror. I thank God for His Abundant Grace in my life that continues working always. God Bless!
