A Broken Family

-


                                                   


                  At or about the age of twenty-seven, Charley's little sister, Candy left the church of like, 

precious, faith, that they had been brought up in for the church of the Open Door.  This of course, hurt

her mother, Sandy a lot for she felt the family circle had been broken.  Candy had done this with her 

older sister's blessing.  Candy had not asked her brother Charley for fear she knew what he would have 

told her.  Charley just kept his mouth shut, because he couldn't make her go to a church like she had 

been raised in.

                  Charley did not know much about the church of the Open Door.  All he knew is that they 

accepted many different beliefs, and that they were Baptist.  If that is what Candy wanted it would 

break the family up, but he could not stop her.  He, however, would remain in a church like he was 

raised in.  He felt the faith he was raised in would get him to heaven, but he did not know about 

Candy. 

                 Many was the time that their Mother Sandy would question, would the family have broken 

in the afterlife.  Candy had left the church of their faith due to the fact that someone had corrected her 

children due to their use of language.  Candy's father said he hated it when one of his siblings corrected 

us kids.

                   Truth be known Candy was just looking for a reason to leave the church.  Correcting her 

children were just giving her a reason to leave.  Charley tried to seek out evangelical help for his sister

only to get told they had been escorted off of her property by the police.  This of course hurt Charley 

deeply.

                    Their Mother Sandy then passed away, and all three of the children had to come home

putting their differences aside.  They went to a church of like precious faith, like they had been raised 

in.  Once they all went back home the oldest daughter stopped going to church with their father, and 

started playing church up in the mountains.  Candy continued going to the church of the Open Door.  

Charley continued going to church at a like precious faith.  In the end the family had been spiritually

divided.

Self Pleasing

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

In The End

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
