Clouds can be beautiful. Sometimes we see an approaching storm and sometimes we see the Divine. Our senses provide us with the hard core reality that is filtered through our perspective at any given moment.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now.

Recently, I read on social media someone explaining a financial struggle they are having. I knew these were good people and members of Six Flags Over Jesus church, a mega-church/cult in our community. This is a cry for help, I believe, on so many levels. We have a huge problem in our community, a thriving cult.

I write in my book an encounter, my attorney had, with members of said church/cult. They were meeting with him for financial advice because they were tithing 10% to SFOJ church and could not pay their car note.

Do they realize their hard earned taxed dollars, being collected by this mega-church, are used to support pastoral leaders, as well as, an entity that is tax exempt? They are, in fact, funding a tax exempt golf and country club lifestyle, including large homes and luxury cars.

In what world is this acceptable?

Apparently, our world and it is all done in the name of God.

A friend and fan of the book said to me, “Jodi, we are not doing stupid,”

I said, “No, we are not.”
