Hello beautiful people. Reading your comments caused the keys on my keyboard to all become wet, and that was even before I knew tha Lee Lu was here. If we had these when I was younger, perhaps there would be proof. However, we are talking about an era when people did feel that any man of the cloth was Godly, so it still would not matter. I also realize that there are many that have been through the same circumstances or know someone in the same category and therefore I felt it was necessary to clear the air for not just me, but for the thousands of people throughout the years that thought that they were the only ones. As one of the readers said, (Forgive me for not remembering which one) this has not just occured in the Catholic Religion, but to some extent in all. This, my friends, is why it is so difficult when someone says "Don't you Believe in GOD!!!??", when you fully do believe and respect and want to do His Will, but you realize that someone is dictating to you a Man Made Doctrine that is Not of GOD. By all means follow Gods Law, but if you or your children are violated by a man. or woman of the cloth, stop it Cold. For those that know all to well where I'm coming from, IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT!! Get on with your life. Does anyone know the statistics on how many boys and girls have never made it through puburty because of suicide? Your skin crawls when you think about it, and when there is no one to turn to for comfort you are suddenly in an alien world where nothing around you makes sense. As I mentioned in my morbid Bio, Father Higgins had complete control of the village that was 98percent Catholic. He was also the Village Drunk. He would stagger down the middle of the main road with his pants down to his knees. Someone would spot him, rush him into their house, poor Black Coffee into him until he was somewhat sober, take him back to the rectory and make sure he was safe in his own bed. Nothing more would be said. As for my parents, I love them dearly, They turned their backs on me, they punished me for telling the truth, they ridiculed me for many things that were not my fault, however they did all this because they felt that they were pleasing God. How sad.
If I can make one person smile from something I say or do, I am happy. Shirley and I do not have a car, we do not have much money, but we do have each other. I brought her to Applebee's yesterday. We can't afford it, but for everything she's done for me, it was worth it. She had the Baby Back Ribs. When she got down to where she could see the plate, she said, "Look honey, there's an apple on the plate!" I said, "It's okay, you can eat it, it comes with the meal!" In closing I would like to say that the responses that you have all given me was the best testimony of friendship that I have ever received and I love you all so much for them. By the way, keep the graphics coming. I've been lifting them to put on my new web-site. I will be back.
God Bless You
Mike
