Daddy King
Historical Satire about The King Family
Mr. Williams, Pastor Williams I am interested in your daughter Alberta. No that would not work. How am I going to tell my mentor that I want to be with his daughter. God help me. You promised to help with this journey. As Daddy King recalls the story about meeting his wife, I remember being so nervous about her. She was from well upcoming family and I was not. She was her Daddy's favorite and I didn't have that type of relationship with my father. It was frightened being in loved with a man's daughter when that man gave you so much. He gave me my first job. He gave me shelter. He gave me everything I needed. How could I take from the hand that feed me? How could I be so afraid of a loving man with an amazing family? But I knew what I felt. God put her in my heart. God made me for her. God made her for me. We were meant to be together. We were destined to build a beautiful family. Something about her that makes me happy. Something about her that makes me feel alright. I know that she will make a fine wife and bring wonderful children to me. I was trying so many times. I was trying so many ways but her blessed mother, an angel to me, she saw one day after service the way I looked at her. She told the Pastor, Pastor Wiliams. And she was the first to welcome to being a potential mate for her daughter. She suggested we take it slowly and go on dates. Pastor Williams reminded me to show a godly man who loves the Lord that he treats a woman with respect. He reminded me to refuse temptations. He reminded me to see if its love. So we dated, I was nervous then at the coffee shop that was her favorite place to meet. I didn't want anything to mess up. I didn't want the food to be cold. I didn't want the date to mess up. I was getting a little tired and upset with the wait but she, Alberta showed me affection. She took her hand upon my hand and said it would be alright. I relieved and smile gently at her. And then the date begin with a meal. Then after going to the movies, it was cold that night and I was her protector, a strong handsome gentleman. I had my long coat on and a hat and she held on to my arm for safety and warmth. And I remember walking her to her parents' door asking kindly if she would marry me. She was shocked and told me to wait just one moment. And she turned on every light and woke her parents up and said I am getting married she later told me. Then she welcomed me for some coffee and cake. Mrs. Williams came running with a house coat. Just when I was about finished eating and drinking coffee and celebrating with Mrs. Williams and my wife to be Alberta. Pastor Williams came in loud and happy and hugging. Later after all the excitement and conversations, Pastor Williams ask me what job am I doing to pay for the new family. I told him I would keep ministering and looking for night jobs. And Pastor Williams loudly exclaimed, Son you are really a son because I am getting old. I am going leave to Heaven one day. It would be my honor for you to be the Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. I was shocked and grab his hand and shook his hand and said Thank you Pastor, Amen Pastor my honor and pleasure. So we married at the church within the following months, I was able to start my family not too far from the church. We knew were gonna have a boy first but we did not anticipate him coming in January. We had a crib and the room painted blue. And yes Pastor Williams passed but he did not leave his family alone, his wife live to help us and the congregation welcome me as their new Pastor. A role I had led for the rest of my life even with a son as an Associate Pastor.

The Birth of Interfaith
It was written in his heart and upon his soul. When the founder was young at the age of 4, he would have visions of forces attacking him and he would find no help in family and friends but he one day busted the name above all names many times. Something within him cried that name that he did not know much. And the attack left and they cease. That's when he became infatuated with the Scriptures. He began pronunciation before he learned to read in front of family and it was Jonah that inspired him. Then when he knew he could not read and understand he close the family Bible and declared to himself that when he learned to read that he would read every bit of the Scriptures. He remember in the family, it was told that an angel came to his mother when she was pregnant with him and reassured her and comfort her with his birth as the family was struggling. And after the attack from these forces cease, he became infatuated with the beautiful mighty angel guiding, walking with, and comforting the children over the bridge painting of the Saint Jude's Chapel. He told his parents many times that he loved that painting and he felt that it was a sign. So he advanced early in education, he made many A's in elementary and he even told his teachers that he wanted to read the Bible and he sworn as a child that he would do his best to keep the Scriptures with all his heart, with all his mind, and with all his might. He did not care for popularity. He did not care for much fame. He wanted to know this Maker. He believed in obedience. He believed in devout. He believed in trusting. He believed in forgiveness. When he made his first straight A's the school which was a Catholic School introduced all his class to the priest. And the founder remembered being amazed at the green fire. He could stare at the green fire for hours even though it was brief but he remember hearing a voice shaming him and welcoming him at the same time. That very night, he heard voice several times that he thought was his mother and she told him what to do. He repeated Samuel's reply and he began to have visions of life and the future. Then he gets into this horrible bout outside and he slams into a rock on the side of his head. It is snowing and raining and the sun is shining and he was in a daze. He is knocked out and he hears a voice that speaks to him telling him to get up and go to his mother. He starts kicking for life, then he pulls himself up slowly and wobbles then moves fast and runs to his mother holding his head. His parents panicked and he cries and blames. And he does what his mother says, she pleads with him as she sows his wound. At that time, he feels reassurance as his mother sows the pain goes away and it is soothing. He tells her that it does not hurt anymore and he demands his hair be cut low and so his father cut his hair. He later goes to the doctor and the doctor said that his parents saved his life. As he ages, he began to preached at age 10, his father gave him instruments and he desire to preach. And he later realized that he needed knowledge but a pastor celebrated with the church about his preaching and he becomes doorkeeper of the church. As he learns everything and and ages as soon as he graduates early from high school where he would sing Gospel songs to calm his fears and reminded him of what he ought to do daily. He wears out a Bible from his mother's friend given as a Christmas gift that he never stop treasuring. He gives to charities most of his earned money for over twenty years to hundreds of charities even throughout college where he never failed learning up to the Masters and given an Honorary Doctorate for working with National Leaders and considered a National Leader in College accepted into four honor societies and lowest grade a B- and only achieving that low grade once with all his other grades well above to excellent. He knows it is a sign of God that he must now build. He has a vision of the Saint of Bourgnew who instructs him to live a merger life, who instructs him to put his faith first, who instructs him to use his knowledge. He is guided on a faith journey being involved with many churches such as Methodist, Nondenominational,. Pentecostal, Baptist etc. His heart cried for unity and through DNA test he founded that he had Jewish roots to the Modern Jewish people and Ancient Jewish People that he was from Levi Tribe connected by a lost Tribe. And the Jewish Organizations asked him to build a ministry for his faithful support with the blessing of the Catholic Church holding a special mass in his honor for all the charitable giving he has done throughout his life. Thus was born the Interfaith under the authority of the Bourgnewian Government empowered by the Bourgnewian Royalty and given provisions and recognition by even the United Nations for his sanctuaries. Interfaith was born out of a need to unite faiths, spread love, and embolden hope.

Embracing Life As It Is
Since I was young, I've always been envious of others' ability to be openly themselves. When I observed how wonderful they were at communicating with others, my insecurity would always press on me, hoping that soon I would be able to do the same.
