Daniel D. Devine

Ah yes, Mr. Devine.

This guy:
  • lives holy
  • acts holy
  • talks holy
  • prays holy
  • reads holy
  • walks holy
  • eats holy

When you meet him somewhere and say ''Hi, how are you?" He will respond with one of the following sayings:

  • " Saved and heaven bound"
  • "Wonderfully blessed of God"
  • "Walking in the Light of his Love"
  • "Saved, Holy Ghost Filled and Sanctified''
  • "Blessed beyond measure''

This dude talks "CHURCHEESE" all the time. He loves to use religious Cliché's in his speech when talking to people. Theophany and Epiphany are common words in his vocabulary. He quotes from Hymns and the Bible with equal grace. You often walk away wondering if this guy was for real

His sister Danielle when discussing plans for a wedding (her own son's) would tell the Daughter in Law to be and her family: "I am determined to know nothing among you, save Jesus and him crucified". The minister doing the ceremony finally told her to get her head out of the clouds, touch her feet to the ground and to quit heading behind religion. Get involved with that wedding and now.

You see, its too to hide behind religion. It's not necessary to put on a show for people. It is ok to be real, to be human. In fact people will be more comfortable around you if you act normal. It's ok to discuss current events and hunting and fishing and camping. It's OK to read the newspaper and Charlie Brown. If people perceive you as normal, you will get better results
