Hey Adam, why is it just a schmo holy man? What about a schmo holy woman to kick your butt out of the mud and into the light? Here I am! (I always thought the word "schmo" was funny and meant just some ordinary goofy yet sincere person. But what does this Goy woman know anyway?) Well, the answer is right under your nose of historical and prophetic proofs! Even if you and I are covered in symbolic sinful mud where we yell at God in the woods, we're covered by His Gospel of Grace of forgiveness. He'll give you living water where you shall never thirst. When you're lonely, you're never alone. So put your pride and fear away and get started on that New Testament. Otherwise, this schmo woman is going to put on some butt-kicking granny boots. Just kidding. I don't want Meta or the thought police coming after me either. Love to the Jewish people!

Umm...I'm not really sure how to respond.

Your very creative writing piece appeared to me as venting and frustration with your struggles and the so-called "holy" men you have encountered. Yet they are unable to really empathize or be real with you and offer true peace and strength. In my typical raw fashion (of course you don't know me) I am challenging you or more likely pleading with you to Study, not just read, the NT. You will find what you are supposed to find, because you are the lost sheep of the house of Israel. You will find peace and joy and truth. The granny boots butt kicking was my weird southern sense of humor. Forgive me.

‘Many ships cross the ocean, but they cannot lead or follow because they don’t leave trails.’ Worth reading if just for this quote alone.
