In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth but quickly the earth turned sour. The man he had created turned to sin even while in paradise but God was not caught off guard. God had a plan to reach a people dying from sin and that plan was Missions. So God sent the first missionary. The missionary did all the things missionaries do, he preached, taught, and he prayed for people and they were healed. Often as the missionary was out in public people would flock to him. Quickly he would…

let her put natural looking makeup on her. Rhetta smiles and grabs a fluffy makeup brush from a cardboard box. You could clearly tell the family had just moved in. As for Rhetta’s family, they were actually very normal. Rhetta’s father, Reverend Mayes, was a pastor at a church.

She was the most lovable, caring, and played second mother to me. Her life was revolved around God and church and she was happy all the time. Never was she in a bad mood or did not have a smile on her face. Her attitude brightened up the next person day, until one day it all changed. It was the…

My earliest memory is burned into the back of my eyes forever. Mother shoved Father and Father pushes back. Shouts of profanity was heard throughout the house as I grab Sugar, my childhood pet and run to the Living room to meet my nine year old brother who is covering his ears with a look of sheer panic. Mother grabs my hand and drags me outside whilst my father cries. I watch my childhood home shrink as I was drove away. Burned rubber littered the driveway where I once stood. Mother never…

I believe most people attempt at working very hard at appearing to be happy, especially around others. In today's society for example, they result to drinking, drugs, promiscuous lifestyles, purchase books, shopping, attend various classes, and/or change their lifestyle for the betterment in an on-going effort to find that elusive quality of happiness:…
