A member of our Daniel
Fast Community sent this to me and I just had to pass it on to you!
"I
replied, "I had a drug problem when I was young! I was drug to church on
Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to
family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
"I
was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the
woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report
card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or
if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.
"I
was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered
a profanity.
"I
was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flowerbeds and cocklebur's out
of dad's fields.
"I
was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor
soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some
firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip
for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed.
"Those
drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do,
say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if
today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better
place."
