Sammy, This Blog's For You!

Sammy,
This blog is for you kid!
You are trying so hard to get your life together. Great! I realize that what I wrote way back when and how I feel now are different. I would like nothing more than for you to be happy on this earth. That's it.
If you want the same things that I mentioned in an earlier blog then it would be good for you. However, it has to be what you want and it has to come from the heart.
Granny told me one day in a drunken stupor that I was responsible for my Dad's death because I joined the Church. I carried that around for years and then I finally figured out that:
1. Granny was drunk.
2. Granny is insane anyway.
3. What Dad did was his decision, not mine.
I think that Dad would have much rather found out that I was a homo than to find out I joined the Church. That's how badly he hated the church he was once a member of.
My point: Do it if it makes you happy and don't worry about your old man. I can tell you what works for me.

So, Sammy my Sailor: your goals mentioned in your email are all very worthy. I commend you. However, most of all I just want you to find lasting happiness and quite honestly I don't know of a better way.

BTW: If you want to find out about a Church, do not get your information from an ex-member. They always have an ax to grind.
Also, beware of any book that says it was written to save the souls of the aforementioned religion. It isn't. It's only meant to tear it down.
