Just Trying to Be a Good Father

They know he could take them down and they were satisfied with that. Everyone at work loves him. He's kind and tough. That's what they want from a Christian man. That's what I want too!

So, let CS make hornets with his kids.

Right on sis.

George L. Glass, Sr. was one of my great heroes in the faith.

Geo Glass was quite a man in his young years. He used to box bare fisted in the old Jack Dempsey style. He could whip most anyone. As a young man, he received the Holy Ghost and went into the ministry shortly afterwards. He became the Prince of Preachers among us.

Once, after finishing one of his early sermons, two men met him out behind the brush arbor to inform him that they were going to give him the whipping of his for becoming a Holy Roller. Brother Glass asked them if he could pray before he received his whipping. They granted him permission.

Brother Glass knelt down to pray while those two men stood nearby. He prayed, "God you know that I've started out to be a christian and that I will never deny you. You also have heard the threat from these two men. These two men know that I could whip either one or both of them any day. I now ask you to deliver me from this evil but if you do not, when I get up from here, I intend to light into these two men like an angry she-bear and whip them to within an inch of their lives. So, I ask you to forgive me of this deed that I am about to do."

Brother Glass finished praying, got up and looked around. Those two men were not to be found anywhere. It seems that they suddenly remembered to be somewhere else...and quickly.

Imagine that!
