everyone has a different “normal”
what they’re raised in
what they’re used to
and I wonder
how much that “normal”

involves learning the difference
between right and wrong

maybe wrong IS right
I used to cuss all the time
scream at my kids
slam doors through the frame

but I changed
I hope others change too
all it takes is for one to change
to make lifetimes of different

when His Spirit lives in you
there’s always communion
know it
seek it
learn it
live it
