Last week in the morning, a few minutes after I woke up, I heard knocking at the door. Wasn't loud at all, but it was there. I didn't answer the door. Instead, I moved to a location near no windows and listened and waited. They on attempted to knock once, that I know of.
I waited a little while, then went outside to look. No notices or packages. Good, let's keep it that way. You may ask why I am a little paranoid? Well, I don't know if anything is being threatened to be shut off. And since my house is in foreclosure mode, I don't know if those types of people are stopping by.
I had a chat with my friend Kenny, who lives a few blocks away from me. If he has to I can stay to sleep there. He doesn't want me sleeping in my car. I've been slowly cleaning my stuff out and getting rid of stuff I no longer need. But Kenny said to me to be ready for when the sheriff comes and locks the doors and we can't get back in. So I am getting ready.
I suggested to my mom that we have a yard sale soon. "Oh no we got time". Really? We have time? Stuff needs to go now that we don't need so there's not a big clean up later, God forbid we can't stop the foreclosure.
The kicker a few minutes ago, my mom talked to me how she needs to find someone else to read scripture with her. She immediately got on the phone to find another reader, as two already backed out for Sunday.
Here's my problem, try talking to her about calling back collection companies or calling ahead of time to bill collectors if she's going to be late to work things out. She will go on and on for 15-20 minutes about how she has to take my sister to work and watch Ellen on TV and wash dishes blah blah blah before work. That she has all this stuff to do and no time to take care of it. Sorry, watching Ellen at 4pm is not a priority. In fact, most people are at work. Work for her is usually 4-6 hours a day, 5-6 days a week at night.
But, oh no, someone can't read Scripture on Sunday with her at church, and she's on the phone faster than you can say PC. So it's more important to find someone to read religious nonsense to the congregation on Sunday that you don't get paid to do, than to find another job or find a way to deal with finances?
I'm not going to lie I was like her as a kid, and I can see why as she was a heavy influence. See, I used to bring my Bible to the playground and preach to the "nonbelievers". I talked about God and Jesus all the time, and couldn't understand why kids would make fun of me. Many would avoid me completely. It took unraveling during my teenage years and my change to public school from private school to stop doing that stuff. I was pretty much a preacher, Bible thumper or what have you in it's worst form.
