When Dad read the verse to his mother, she laughed in his face. “I got some pennies in my purse,” she said. “You better take them. They’ll be all the sense you got.”
This is the first comments by a family member identifying the father with mental issues.
The comment was given by his own mother.
In the fathers mind the idea of purging the house of milk, yogurt and cheese and to rplacing it with50-gallons of honey, is either escnetric or a phrophacy.
Reading a passage from the bible several times with widen and alert eyes believing its an inquiree from the Lord. Could be escentric or something more, possibly mental illness.
