WHY LET "THE BOOK OF REVELATION" OBSESS YOU?


"Some people get by prophecies obsessed, they waste their time and wildly speculate. But If ya'd be by Heaven richly blessed, you'll love yourself, your family, and mate.

TOO MANY SPICES MAKE YOU SICK


(to someone focusing on unwholesome things)

“Too much attention paid ta crazy stuff! Of bullshit, some can't seem ta get enough. Your jaded mental tongue can't taste what's sweet; what Is this cockamamie crap ya eat? Too many evils tickling your brain, and blessings disappearing down the drain! Your mental food is way too over-spiced! Why not surrender all ta Buddha-Christ?”

Note: “Paying attention to what is not is like spice for your brain food.”
