Pastor Sam
Evie was almost done with her last call for the day. Her doorbell rang. It was Pastor Sam. She jotted a note for him. Need 5 more minutes. You can wait inside or out. Front porch or back. She pointed to her head set as she handed him the note. He read it and wrote, back porch? She gave him a thumbs up.
She poked her head out the door, “would you like something to drink?”
“Water is fine.”
On the tray, she had 2 glasses and a pitcher of water. Each glass was half full of multi colored plastic stars. And some were floating around in the pitcher. She noticed the look on his face. “I don’t buy bottled water nor do I use traditional ice.”
He smiled, filling up his glass.
“Thanks for defending me.” Evie spoke as she sat down.
“I am so sorry. I was shocked to say the least. Are the accusations true?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“She brought up some good points that in my joy to finally have music back in church, I didn’t think to explore.”
Evie just sat there, stunned. Words had left her. The thought raced across her mind to tell him to get off her porch. She got up, “‘we have adopted Christianity merely as an improved method of agriculture’,” she quoted. “Get off this property.”

“‘we have adopted Christianity merely as an improved method of agriculture”..
I’ve never heard that one!!! In order to keep believers in line? Lol. I wrote a song lyric once.. “Find your feet and go one more time.. for these seeds you’ll sew in a broken line.. dreams you carry pray grow.. pass your love, pass your way down the line.”

Thanks for reading 💕 The quote is from Walden by Thoreau. Keep on reading and I will unveil what’s happening here. 😉
We, as Christians (I’m including myself), can twist words meaning or not use scripture as it was intended. As long as we get what we want. It’s very harmful to someone’s walk in faith when we do things, not knowing what we are talking about. Not having a full picture of events. In some cases, I don’t think we will get a full picture until we get to heaven.
