Learning to appreciate the Bodden eccentricities

I am so glad that you asked me about our family dynamic. Mu, Ruth and her sisters and friends and my mother's life and then my sisters' love dynamic is a history that I really don't want you to forget, even if you are far from experiencing it first hand. We are always inebriated by something. I had never really thought about that aspect of our family. I have done some to keep myself from being a chemical dependent, but I still carry the family habit of overdoing it. Religion and worship are something to do and overdo and we do that too. The Bible says, "do not be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit..." It is as though God saw our family love experience and allowed that verse to be penned so that we could translate our love talk from alcohol to the Holy Spirit. Let the bottles on the table that we consume be the Holy Spirit. I remember walking into Aunt Ju's house and she said did you hear Larnelle's new song. We drank that bottle together and rejoiced together as though we were drunk. I wish that for you and your sisters and brothers. Don't be a distant bunch. Enter each others' lives and dance through your seasons in the Holy Spirit. Don't think that the solution to chemical inebriation is stoicism. It is Holy Spirit giddyism. I love you for listening to my story of driving Ruth's drunk self home.
