“She would look us in the eyes and say, “Whenever you’re tempted, you’ve got to shout.” She then would scream the words so loud that we needed to cover our ears, “Get thee behind me, Satan.” Then she’d talk in a normal voice again and say, “The devil is ruling your lives. You need to learn how to say no. Stop throwing your pearls to the swine. Your lives have value, but you’re throwing it away.” Her voice would get desperate again and she'd say, “You must not give yourself over to these things. They’re damaging you. They’ll destroy you. You must learn to stop.” Then she would turn to my friends and plead with them, “Please don’t lead my boy astray. He’s trying now, he’s trying to be better. Please don’t drag him down again.” — Michael J Heil
