John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

It had a mean streak and would sink all those claws in you, bite you, then rabbit kick you with the back claws. It was like getting airdropped into a multiflora rose bush. You had to just sit there and take it till she was done.
