CHAPTER ONE

SOME TIME IN THE NOT SO DISTANT FUTURE:

This in news today senator John Daniels has brought a bill before congress to erase the tax exemptions of all religious organizations as well as nonprofit groups and by doing so could almost pay off over half of the national debt.

Daniels saying that taxing religious organizations and non profit groups is an untapped source of revenue that our country can use by making these organizations pay taxes on offerings and other means they get supported by.

How ever most if not all of the senator’s from the bible belt have stood up and simply said one word in one voice.

That word being no.

They said it as if it had been practiced but the bill had been kept so secret in it’s writing until now.

Senator Henry Blake from Missouri said this was a out right attack on the bible belt and he also said he took it personally, and that such a bill should not even be considered.

Daniels fired back asking why he did not wish for states in the Bible belt to pay there fair share?

Blake returned by saying that they should instead look at the useless spending that could be cut from the budget instead of forcing these groups and organizations to pay taxes on gifts given such as love offerings as well as tithes to church’s which up until last year was tax deductible.

In other news....

Jeff could not believe his ears.

You know Mike we need to do something this stuff is just the start of it..

Your such a dooms dayer I think they should start paying taxes all they are doing is promoting the sale of a ancient book no one believes in any more it’s just a fairy tale right?

It’s every where, look here in the paper they are given concert tickets away for bibles.

I mean it’s like the ninety’s where you traded hand guns for tickets and some times gift cards, me personally I would prefer to keep my gun.

Mike your so lost I wish you would listen to me and see what’s going on here Jesus is coming soon and Your not ready I pray one day before it’s too late you find Christ.

Oh I keep forgetting you believe in that garbage..

It’s not garbage my friend it’s fact.

Look you could get me to believe in the great god of the talking hotdog before I would believe in the god you’re talking about.

You know Jeff your business has already taken a hit because of your so called believes, you should reconsider letting every one knows you’re a Christian.

Remember what the L.G.B.T did to you because you would not support them and told them how you believed and you would not support something like that because in your eye’s it’s wrong.

I did not lose that much business because people know Christians keep their word.

The Lord took care of me during that time and I got a bigger contract from a logo company.

Mike I am proud of who I am and who I trust as my lord and savior.

My whole family trust the lord and I know where I’m going and where my family is going when they die.

So your telling me that if some one told you they would kill your kid if you did not deny Christ you would say go ahead I know where he is going?

Yes.

For My kids are responsible for there own souls as I am mine.

When they took Christ into there hearts they became responsible for their relationship to the lord though they still need guidance from me they are the ones who answer to Christ.

When I meet the lord I can only answer for myself no one else.

That’s a little harsh..

It may sound that way but it’s the only way.

Yes but your own family..

Look at it this way you get a traffic ticket do you let your dad take responsibility for it?

No that’s different.

How so?

Uh um, well it just is.

Is that the best answer you have?

You know there is one I just can’t explain it.

Your Jesus did that for you did he not?

Yes he did and we all should be glad and grateful for that fact but he is the only one who can do that for us.

Yes but are we not all going to burn anyway according to your bible?

It says something like the wages of sin is death."

Yes but in John 3:16 who so ever believes in me shall not perish but have ever lasting life and that person is Jesus Christ.

Thus those that trust Christ are saved because they give their all to the lord even though sometimes we stumble we know we’re wrong we repent of our sin’s and beg not ask but beg for forgiveness.

You have an answer for every thing don’t you..

CHAPTER TWO

MEET JANE

Jane has fiery red hair she was your typical 17 year old girl.

She was a wiz with animation also very talented with music and had a very good no lets say the truth great talent with both or any thing she put her mind to.

Jane’s friends had one hang up about her.

Her friends did not care about but since she was such a good person they over looked it.

You see Jane seemed to think ever conversation she had always seemed to go back to God and or Christ.

Which seemed to annoy her friends but on the same note it also amazed her friends how much She loves and trust the lord.

Jane was also very active in most school clubs like Beta club debate club and of course band and lets not forget the church youth choir.

She was great with the trumpet she could really make it sing on it’s own when she picked it up you could almost swear that it would smile because Jane was playing it.

Her animation was no different she had done some stuff for her church and some of it had went through out the Baptist convention.

Some of it was used for the upwards basket program thanks to her brother who is a wizard when it
