Great line, Eebs. ha!

Remember the person I wrote you all about a few months ago who was asking me for help as she wanted to leave? I can now say more about it because she finally left and took her little girl with her. She said that it was getting to be too much and she didn't want to teach that crap to her daughter.

This was a woman who was very trusted and had been a faithful follower for many years. Not a ding-dong. Not silly or shallow and she was in a "selah" home when she left.

She'd joined when she was young and she's now about 34 or 35. She is outta there. Lemme tell you.
