Laying in bed, thinking: “yes. I made it out alive.” Let’s just say today was not my cup of tea.
Saw a man have a seizure at our church BBQ. This was the first seizure I’ve ever witnessed, besides my own. To see the terror and worry in everyone’s faces, and to see the demon in the man’s eyes, killed me. That has been me. I have had that possessed feeling. And...
