Froney Maloany wears pig tails, and works part time down at the five and dime. On the weekends she works at the Library. She would be a pretty girl if it weren't for the black rimmed glasses. She used to be talked about awful bad by a jealous few, but she never was what they said. She was a good person loved by many.
Now Froney had a few boyfriends in her past who did her like a dog. Truth is they were all alcoholics and drug attics, but Froney thought they all needed to be saved. She felt sorry for them and wanted to rescue them like a lost puppy dog abandoned at the pound. She never did drugs though, she was always a good person with good morals with her occasional mishap of the miner kind that goes along with things when you run around with bad company. Her problem was she just had a bad case of the "I am not good enoughs."
She finally got tired of always being walked on by those kind of men, and joined church. Funny thing is she has now made it a mission to save her lost family, and everyone else in the community. She is always quoting some Bible scripture. She is obsessed with scripture and reading the Bible. All she does is set there and read from her mountain of books she takes everywhere with her. She even has scriptures hanging up all over the walls of her home; reading them to anyone who will listen. She believes Scripture will be like a Chariot of fire and carry her through all life's storms. So far she has been right.
I got next to her once down at the Piggly Wiggly and I could have sworn she was going to start reading me scripture from her 3 decks of scripture cards she keeps with her at all times, but I was able to escape when the cashier handed her receipt to her. I don't guess she wanted to hear her either, judging by the huge discount she gave her on her groceries. I even heard the manager started to fire her over it until he found out who it was the discount was given to. Apparently he had experienced one of Miss Maloany's long Sermons down at the post office.
Froney is a sweet little thing even with her scripture reading. She is pure Gold. You couldn't find a better heart in the county. She once spent almost her whole pay check on needy children and then the next week on food for the animals at the shelter. She was always doing stuff like that.
She was always reading scripture to sinners, at least until the pasture pulled her over to the side one Sunday after church and said ," Froney, you can't drag people into Heaven when they don't want to go. You just have to pray for them and keep inviting them to church and trust God to do the rest."
Since then she just prays and trusts God ; inviting people to church along the way. She is leaving it in Gods hands now. She still witnesses though. She just no longer try's to choke hold them with Bible scripture. Instead, she just walks in love and forgiving people as she goes and trying to be a good light.
By the way, I recently got saved and am attending church with Froney now. You should come sometime. Church starts at 6:00pm on Sunday's
Come take a walk with me on a journey through my thoughts and imagination. It's a place where a girl who loves to create. whether it be laughter, through dolls or simply a poem or even a scary story or two, lol. loves helping people through some of her writings, and by giving encouragement whenever she can, and but most of all it's a walk with a girl who loves her son, and knows he's the reason for living.
