Scorpion: Path to Perdition
()
About this ebook
The Reverend Paul David Sinn, a pastor in an independent Christian community worked diligently in the foreign mission field as a program of witness for not only his faith but also the faith of his family. His wife was murdered, and his daughter kidnapped for a ransom that was paid and accepted but ignored as satisfaction for the terms of her release. Instead, the villains held the young twelve year old for sale into prostitution.
The Reverend morphed into a ranting Scorpion intent on revenge cloaked as justice. He killed, maimed, and led a revolution in a foreign land, successfully.
Sanity returned when he saved his daughter but his guile festered for the innocent collaterals suffering under the malicious tyranny of hooligans.
SCORPION is a tale told by Reverend Pauls companion, Shah Carlos Calusa on an Atlantic Ocean beach after a successful life. The redeeming quality of his faith lifted him from the path to perdition.
Ronald Lee Weagley
The sanctity of truth frequently evades when the flame fades to the darkness as if bowing to the will-o'-the-wisp corpse torch, a ghostly light term for a fantasy phantom sometimes seen at night or at twilight over bogs, swamps, and marshes. During his life, the Reverend Doctor Ronald Lee Weagley donned many titles, not only son, grandson, nephew, boy, Ronnie, Private, Specialist, Lieutenant, Captain, Padre, Mister, Pastor, father, husband, Assistant to the Bishop, and “hey-you,” but also a few of the more colorful adjectives unprintable at this writing,. He lays claim to all and to none of the aforementioned, preferring additional more tranquil options: lover, husband, soul mate, dad, or friend. Our egos know our lists. Occasionally remorse delivers a taint tart’s bite of lemon for our palate as we wish we were more deserving of the privilege titles flashing in ones recall; but we are often know for what we do and not who we are actually. Dr. Weagley was born Ronnie for some reason known only to his departed mother and father. His maternal grandfather Roy Franklin Hahn, who read the bible regularly, prayed incessantly, and invoked the deity at random, occasionally as a blessing and occasionally in wrath, contributed significantly to Dr. Weagley’s value system until later in life when congruity touched him in a religious environment. A tour in Africa with the United States Army Security Agency as an enlisted Morse code operator /Traffic Analyst trailed with a business career as branch manager with a national loan company and over ten years in the United States Navy Reserve as a Chaplain. In addition, several years as a trucking company president’s staff member coupled with two academic degrees, two professional degrees and a myriad of continuing education experiences in homiletics, organization development, business management, pastoral ministry, and related areas, served him well in his vocation. Each contributed as if a straw in the flame of the wisp tale that declares light in darkness. Dr. Weagley and his wife of fifty-three years, with four children, thirteen grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, retired to retreat to a slower pace in service. Illness struck, pointing a new path. The paralytic virus Guillain-Barre Syndrome morphed his mode of operation from a stand-up robed preacher into a seated keyboard author telling tales, spinning yarns, and pontificating lucidly. His favorite phrase, “Seek and you shall find,” best captures as well as elaborates his life and his dreams while his sermons, services, and sincerity scream from the pages of his creative fiction works, rooted in reality, SEASCAPE, TRIBE ARPEGGIOS, WALLACE, JED, and JIM.
