Moormanism #25, 8-10-72, From The McLeansboro Times Leader,McLeansboro, IL #Moormanisms

When you get into trouble no matter how young or old you are, it sometimes feels like you are hit from all directions about what you should have done to stay out of trouble. Also, we are always told we should have known better. The reality is, though, that most of us are harder on ourselves than others are on us.

It is great to know that forgiveness is at hand from someplace. Even when those close to us can be unforgiving for what we have done, there is someone who always forgives us when we ask Him.

I thank Jesus Christ for dying for my sins, so that I may be forgiven. He is the ultimate Lamb of God.

A man was in deep domestic trouble. I overheard him mumbling. “The government ought to legislate.”

..........
A man came out of a public toilet and said to me, “It’s all yours.” I didn’t want it and I have reason to believe he didn’t have a deed. ..........

I went by Big Johns in Mt. Carmel. In front was a thirty foot sign of a man carrying a bag of groceries. In ratio to size, he should have been doing the work of two bulldozers or 50 construction workers. He’s worse off than I am if he can only carry a bag of groceries.

..........
I am having a pond dug. I watch the operator of the big dozer because I don’t want him to go too deep. My great-uncle told my dad that Tecumseh was buried in that spot. ..........

In the 30’s a cousin of mine got into a pack of trouble, and he stated to his grandmother that when one falls into a briar patch, it’s hard to tell which briar scratches the hardest.
