āAccountability is Not Exile. Resurrection Is Real.ā
Donāt be a vampire ā afraid to face your own reflection, too scared to stand before the cross.
Because in this Creekerhood, we donāt worship perfect image ā we walk with those who face truth and rise anyway.
Let it be known:
My brother Jason asked to be disfellowshipped.
It was not a punishment forced on him ā it was a step he chose, a moment of accountability made between himself, Christ, and the full weight of honesty. That is not exile. That is humility.
But the real exile came later ā from society.
After he went to jail.
After he did his time.
After consequences were lived, learned, and borne.
So I ask this out loud on behalf of every outcasted soul:
š If our system locks people up to ārepay their debt,ā why does society keep charging interest after release?
š If someone is truly still a danger, why were they released at all?
š And if incarceration is not paired with treatment, support, or healing ā is it really justice or just caging brokenness without ever trying to fix it?
You can out the truth ā but you donāt need to outcast the rehabilitated.
š Meanwhile, in the quiet yearsā¦
As a mother watching Tyler be manipulated by forces I couldnāt always reach, I cried silent tears. In those storms, Jason became a rock ā for me, for Corey, for the emotional survival of our household. Not because he wore a title, but because he stood up when others hid.
That is what Christlike looks like: not ānever fallen,ā but āstill helping others walk after learning to stand again.ā
People ask what a āSavior-type actā looks like in our day. I say: it looks like someone who was wounded, held accountable, walked through consequence, and still chose to carry someone else through their darkness.
āļø My Testimony:
Christ works through us.
Not through unscarred glass, but through cracked vessels that still let light through.
He uses people who know pain to rescue others from it.
The Sacrament is not a weekly guilt trip.
It is a weekly reminder: He already paid the price for us to rise again.
It lifts us.
It teaches us to walk taller with the Holy Ghost beside us.
It reconnects us with God, our Eternal Father, and Jesus Christ, who is never done redeeming the willing.
In His name ā Amen.
š And So on His Birthdayā¦
Happy Birthday, Jason.
Not because youāve lived a spotless life ā but because youāve carried others after walking through fire yourself.
Not because people approved ā but because Christ can still work through you.
Thank you for being a rock when storms hit our family hardest.
šļø Final Word to the Creekerhood:
š We must always reveal truth ā yes. Truth heals.
š« But we must stop crucifying those who have already faced judgment and are choosing redemption.
š Christ sat with sinners and restored their walk.
š« Vampires avoid mirrors and tremble at the cross.
So let me say it again:
ā
Donāt be a vampire ā afraid to see your own reflection and too fearful to witness the cross.
ā
Because the undead hide from truth, but the redeemed face it and rise.
This is Black Mountain Creekerhood.
We are not a place of image.
We are a place of truth, testing, testimony, and transformation.
