Freewrite Day 455 Church Lady

I think there is a “Church Lady” character on tv and maybe this is why Marianne has this odd prompt today. It’s never-ending on wondering where she comes up with the prompts each day.

I guess I was a church lady for a while when @bxlphabet was young, and especially when he was about 10-14 years old. He only had me for an influence and I was trying to get more people for him as best I could before he flew off into teenage-land and would be out from under my control.

I was part of a place called Coronado SAFE that was dedicated to keeping kids off drugs. The stats are that 50% of kids graduate high school without trying them and 20% try them before high school. We had a saying in that place, “Clean Until 18.” If you can get them that far, it’s rare for drugs to become a problem. The kids that try them very early are the ones that have the most trouble later on.

So church was a big part of the effort I took, and I think it was all for the best. I later saw what happened to those kids that were early adopters and it was not good, so I think our little saying was correct.

My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

Please Help Me Keep Helping at STEEM

Recent events have not been easy, and you can read about them here:

Situation Critical – My rent and wifi are not paid and now are both overdue

UPDATE: I am so happy and relieved to tell you that:

• my rent and a wifi top up got paid yesterday.
• the money sent to my US paypal account is on its way and will be here next week.

A bigger post describing this will be posted tomorrow, but I want to let anyone checking on me know that the first part of the situation is solved and that at least I will not be cut off from the world without a roof over my head.

I am so grateful to you all.
