Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary quickly ran over to the vehicle with Thomas close behind her. She jumped inside and flipped the switch, intending on disrupting the police by pulling in their cars. Instead, she watched as Thomas slammed against the magnet followed by Lilly, Sam, Cora and Trixie. Mary stared out the window for a moment before stepping out of her vehicle. There, pinned up against the magnet, the teens groaned and glowed. Sheldon ran over and jumped into the vehicle to flip the switch and Mary watched as the teens dropped to the ground. Cora landed on her back and breathed hard. She grabbed at her belly and stared into the sky. "Cora, are you okay?" yelled Thomas. "Cora?" "I can't feel the baby move! My baby, oh, Thomas!" Lilly crawled over to her sister. "Breathe, Cora, slow deep breaths." Mary stared wide eyed at Cora. She stepped back as the officers surrounded the teens in the chaos. Mary looked over at Sheldon who was standing by the police car, now in handcuffs. Her friend was going to jail because of her. Mary quickly ran over and grabbed Sheldon by the arm and they quickly disappeared into the gathering crowd. Mary pulled Sheldon into an alley way and picked the lock on the handcuffs. "You're a doll, Mary," he said as the cuffs fell to the ground. "I don't know about that," replied Mary as they quickly walked to the end of the alley way. "I just hurt a baby, how good does that make me?" "You didn't know," he replied. Mary stopped and leaned her head against the wall. Sheldon turned her around and she leaned against him and sobbed. "Aint nothing right about me," she cried. "Nothing right about me either," replied Sheldon.

Download or read book The Problem with Preachers written by Dawud Aasiya-Bey and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Problem with Preachers: The Similitude of Preaching, Preying, and Pimping By: Dawud Aasiya-Bey Dawud Aasiya-Bey was born in Washington, D.C., and his parents relocated to Long Island, NY, when he was four years old. He grew up with three brothers in a town called Wyandanch in the town of Babylon. As a child, he attended a private, parochial middle school in Deer Park, NY, which had a church on the campus and this is where his first experience of attending mass occurred. He felt that the school was a strict environment because it seemed that minor infractions resulted in punishments that simply did not fit the wrongdoing. He envisioned church as a place where people would be friendly and kind, but such was not the case as sisters and fathers seemed to roam the school campus like their goal in life was to catch someone doing something wrong. Dawud now lives in Murrieta, California, with his wife and son, which is a small city about 60 miles north of San Diego. He is currently in the teaching vocation as a biology teacher and has been doing so for over sixteen years. Prior to teaching, he worked in the IT field, which was a volatile environment back in 2000 requiring “head-hunters” to find contractual B2B jobs, which were three to six months at best as outsourcing was the norm. Such instability introduced him to the teaching profession, as he was a substitute teacher between his IT contract jobs. His involvement in the church community as a musician (bassist) allows him to experience the church dynamic from a ‘musician for hire’ perspective while continuing his passion for playing music that centers on worship. Being behind the scenes and playing in ministries throughout the years has given him more insight as playing at churches, conferences, and gospel events allowed him to observe the networking, conversations, and sentiments that took place amongst ministries. He feels that the lifestyles and views of some preachers contradict what Jesus taught in the Bible.

Cooper Sometime in the course of early human history, it was decided that all parents had to tell the next generation what a hard and unusual childhood they had. This was practiced worldwide and was handed down across all known civilizations. Most of these stories were considered to be myths. Some of the stories were noted and documented as legends, which had been handed down from generation to generation. These stories sometimes consisted of things that may have some benefit to the next generation or stories that were too unbelievable to believe, like the ones Rick Cooper’s father used to tell him and his brothers. These are a few of those many stories.

As she traverses dozens of centuries on her journey through the American West, she encounters events and people in historical time.

In the end, she resolves the conflict for herself, is liberated from the ancient laws, and emerges as a free woman whose freedom, however, demands a heavy price.
