Life as A Puritan Pastor

RonaldMrs. BoshHonors English9 November 2007The Life of a Puritan PastorThere I was lying down face on the ground, and the only thought that was in my mind his how in the world did I get into this position. While I laid there helpless, I felt the worse pain ever. I wished that I could see my children and my wife one more time. My heart is beating slower and slower by the second, and it feels like there’s no more energy in my body. My mouth is dry and my hands and feet are frozen. My body is shaking like a 9.0 earthquake. All of my body fluid is starting to shoot out of my body, and I have no control. I only could remember the good times I had in my Life. In an instant my eyes behold heaven and its glorious site. My eyes began to get heavy and my body making no effort at all it’s giving up. With in minutes my heart stopped and darkness beholds my eyes. I’m going to tell you about my life as a Puritan Pastor from my very first heartbeat.I grew up in London, England in 1864. I grew up in a house where my mother raised 4 children as a single mother. My dad Samuel Sr. was a very serious drug dealer. Two months after I was born my dad was shot and killed in front of my house. Even till this day I still can see his dried up blood rested up upon the sidewalk. I have three younger siblings that were born after me. The names are Aubrey, Charles, and Jacob Williams. Having all brothers and no sister was a serious pain in the butt. All of my brothers were rough house players, and I couldn’t stand anyone hurting me. We all grew up in a small village 30 miles from London’s Capital. We lived on the west side of the village that represented that we were poor, ignorant, and had only 1 parent.My mother worked at a Mill and made a horrible 5 cents an hour. No matter how hard things got my mom always made sure we didn’t go to bed hungry, and we had a roof over our heads. I attended school in the roughest, torn down school in all of London. The school contained grades k-12. Even though it was a rough school I passed all the way through 12 grades with outstanding grades. When I was finished with high school I couldn’t decide what I was going to become of life. Three months later I was walking around my 18 by 18 foot bedroom I found an old crumpled picture of my Great Grandpa. When I took a long glimpse at it all came to mind what I wanted to be. My great grandpa was a Puritan Pastor who later in his career became Bishop of the Church of Christ. Just shortly after I rested the picture on my wooden table, I went to sleep on the hard and cold floor.While I was asleep a voice came to me out of the Heavens. The voice was like a great thunder that shook my soul. It said unto me “I have called you to be a Pastor.” It then said” “Go to America and start your own church in the name of Jesus Christ your God”. Then I woke to the morning of the birds singing in the cold winter air. I then told my mom and my 3 brothers about my dream and what I have decided to do. My brother at the spot burst out into laughter at what they called foolishness. My mother grabbed me by my hand and said “Do whatever God has called you to do”. I then shock my head in agreement ran up stairs and got all my clothes packed.I had gathered all of my clothes and rushed down stairs to get my last hot meal from my mother before I left on my long journey to America. I went down stairs and my mother was cooking hard eggs and toast. I gorged the food down and rushed to the door. My mother came over and gave me a big forever hug. Then she said with tears rolling down her face, “Samuel your Father would be proud”. I said I know mom and gave her one of my wet kisses and made my way out the door.I was then outside in the cold winter air. I threw my coat on and made my way down the road which led me to the Dock. When I arrived there at the dock I began to wonder what and why I was chosen to do this task. With in an hour or so the ship arrived. I t was the bondage to America ship. I took my golden ticket out of my cold pockets. I then gave the ticket to the man in charge, and then I proceeded unto the ship. When an hour passed the ship was on its way to America. The whistle blew and I was on my way to the open see. I sat down in a wooden chair and began to sing in a whisper my favorite song I’m blessed. While I was singing I felt a warm breeze on my neck. I then turned around very slowly and saw the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I glazed in her eyes, and she glazed in mines. When she spoke my hands and feet began to shake violently. She spoke and my mouth began to water like a waterfall. She asked me what was my name, and I just stared at her. She began to smile and put out her hand to greet me. My hands shaking, sweating, and dirty reached to shake her hand. She smiled at me. I smiled back at her. We then began to have a nice an entertaining conversation. She spoke from greatness form the heart, and then I knew that she was the one for me. I then asked her would she live with me when we get to America. She said yes! And I screamed to the top of my voice with excitement. We then began to live with each other. I fell in love with her and I knew that she was already in love with me so I asked her to marry me. She said yes and then 2 months later we got married. I told my wife from the very beginning that I wanted to build a church for Christ. She said that she would support me whatever I do, and wherever I go. I then settled down and had 6 children. I had 3 girls and 3 boys. My three boy’s names are Samuel the 3, Asher, and Fidel Williams. My three girl’s names are Hope, Honor, and Joy Williams. I raised all my kids the best way I could. I made sure that I did everything my mother did for me and my brothers. I made sure that my kids knew who God was and made sure that they lived a good Puritan Life. Two years after my last child Joy was born I began to build my church.My church started out real small and empty. I had nothing but my wife and children there. My two friends James and John were my fist members of my church. I told my wife, my kids, John, and James that God said that this ministry was going to grow rapidly fast. With in 2 years I had over 1,000 people in my church. The church was getting so big I needed help and assistance from some men or women’s that I could trust. I then gave John the title of assistant pastor, and James the title of Preacher. I then became a world wide preacher. I traveled all around the world sharing and teaching the Gospel. I went to all 50 states in America, to all 7 continents in the world. People began to know me all over the world. In 6 month my church was packed with 10,000 people attending church. Whenever I preached I always kept it the truth. There’s a special gift that God gives Pastors, and that is the gift of telling where the devil is attacking the church.One Sunday and bless morning I was going to deliver a message from God, a message that God said it was going to change the face of the world forever. I then received a Vision from God that my very own trusted assistant pastor, and preacher was going to turn their backs on me and teach a fake Gospel while I am delivering the message. When I got up to preach I preached well. I began to jump sing and shout and tell the church that God was real. I saw my assistant pastor and preacher sitting in the congregation. I saw them gathering people in the back telling them that the pastor was a witch and he’s not teaching the Gospel of God. . They would then take my people and teach then fake Gospel. The Lord rested on my heart and told me what was happening. I then confronted them in front of the Church and threw them out of my church for life. Later that day my wife came back to me and told me the bad news. She heard a lot of the church members calling me a witch. I then knew that the word would get out and they would all come after me and put me on a Witch Trail. I knew for experience that if someone convicts you of being a witch you were going to be put on trail. I then grabbed all my belonging told my wife everything was going to be okay and to get the children and get out of town as soon as possible( in a hurry).I jumped on my mule and made my way down the dark and creepy road. While listening to the air wrestle on the trees I heard great yelling in the distance. I began to halt my mule as I listened to the yelling coming closer and closer to me. There were three horses with three men ridding on them. I stop my mule and step out unto the dark road. James and John and another man jumped off the horses and walked slowly towards me. John and James looked a laughed at me. I then smile and said that I’m sorry for kicking you out of the church, God told me that I had to. James stepped forward and said that it is too late for apologizes. I then swallowed my spit and began to sweat. I then said you know that teaching a Fake Gospel could get you into some trouble with God. John walked up and said “No one asked you to tell us this bull” and then socked me in my face. I then felled hard to the ground. James then said in a sweet and kind voice “you knew that we were good friends and it didn’t have to be this way”. James then said “I’ll give you one chance to say that you don’t believe in God and we will let you go”. I then sat up and said that “I will never say something like that”. God has been good to me and I love my God. James then yelled at the top of his voice “Kill him”. Then the third man came toward me a tall, fat, and muscular man indeed. The man reached into his pocket and took out a figure that looked like a gun. He then look at me straight in my eyes and shook his head. The man then spoke in a voice that I was so familiar with. I then said “man you sound like someone I know”. Then tears began to roll down his eyes and he said “you do know me”. I looked at him so carefully in his face and I saw a man that I saw many times before. He then said in a loud and deep voice “I am your little brother Charles. He then pointed the gun at me and open fired eight shoots all over my body. Charles then put the gun into his pocket and walked away slowly. I heard laughter in the back ground. The men then hopped on their horses and rode away. This is where the story begins. I laid there feeling the worse pain in my life. My eyes closed and my heartbeat stopped. I laid there in darkness wondering what I would do next. Then a light from the Heavens came to me and it was God. God said “Good Work my son you purpose in Life has been fulfilled. I then said “What about my children, my wife, and my church. “I’ll take care of all of that”. He then said that you did the right thing and you lived a great life”. Then descended from the heaven was a beautiful angle. It then flapped his wings and I was amazed. It then spoke to me in a heavenly voice “Thy God Has Called You to His Holy Place. The angle then touched me and we both were flying to the heavens together singing my favorite song I am blessed.The devil is real busy in your life. Don’t let the devil rob your ticket from getting into heaven with God almighty. Stomp on the devils head, and let God fight your battles. Keep the Faith and believe with your heart Jesus is Lord of your life and thou shall be saved.THE ENDWorks Cited"A Guide to Puritan Life: the Puritans 10 Commandments."
