it's pretty crazy, is it not? I was just in Memphis with my very Baptist family and it was great. But I've been a heathen for so long that they don't even try me anymore like they used to. No one bugs me about church like they used to. Even went to dinner with my mom and her former Pastor and he was like "I want you to talk to my daughter about your career" and I said to him "You know I'm a heathen right?"

He had a good laugh about it and basically was like "you ain't that bad but you could be better".

It's just freeing to be who you are and not have to put up that "Praise the Lawd" Saints facade just because.
