God’s House

28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God,[a]which he obtained with his own blood.[b]

God’s House

Daniel found himself back in the principals office. As it were. Once again, with sweaty palms staring at the pastors giant desk. The older man tore in the room past the pastor. His face was red. “You asshole, piece of shit. If you wish to keep your job,” the pastor sat down as this man continued ranting. “You are going to whip your dick out and use it to serve God. I don’t give a damn if you are scared of the IRS. You are going to be terrified of me. You are going to let that,” he sputtered, “creature screw you seven ways to Sunday. Marry it if you have to. She,” he finally choaked, “WILL be a member of MY church. Pay your damn tithes!”

“I don’t think so.” Daniel stammered.

He bristled; as if Daniel was the first person to ever tell him no. “You don’t think so!”

Daniel stood, “no. I don’t think so.” He glanced over at the pastor, who had his head lowered. 

“Why do you keep looking at that piece of shit when I’m the one talking?!”

Daniel banged his fists on the giant desk, causing the pastor to jump. When he looked up, Daniel noticed his eyes were full of tears. 

Daniel stood straight, looking directly into the pastors eyes. “Someday boy, this could be you.” He turned and left.
