The Roots of Bitterness: "It's time to dig a little deeper"

By Dee Songer and Inspired by: God

The Roots of Bitterness(It's time to dig a little deeper)#2 in the "Armed and Dangerous" series Most of my life I was resentful, bitter, angry, and flat out miserable.

I came to find out that when you burry something alive it does not die. It resurfaces when you least expect it. I had to dig up those old bitter roots and claim responsibility for my reactions.
