The Secrets

The Pastor's Secret

It was about mid October, when my life would change for the worse and the good.

"Are you ready for church?" Latonya screamed!
"Almost, I'm doing some finishing touches on my hair and I'm right behind you." Said Judy.

They headed to the car in a rush because they knew how the pastor got if they were late. Being apart of the ministry you had to be prompt and ready.

They headed into service to see praise and worship had already begun. Judy quickly took her spot in front of brother Johnson. And quickly started clapping and getting into the groove of things.

Pastor Mcdonald grabbed the mic and began to sing with the praise team. He called on decon Milton to jump on the keyboard and really get things jumping.

Thats what I loved most about my church was the praise and worship and Pastor Mcdonald always had a good word. I could always apply his teaching to my life.

Pastor Mcdonald, finished up with praise and worship. We were all in the spirit. God was definitely in the building. We headed back to our seats. Pastors lesson today was about being homosexual and how it was a sin and how God doesn't think it's right.

He preached and preached on this subject. At the end of service he began to lay hands and cast out demons.

"Brother Donivan, I sense a spirit of homosexuality over you. I cast that demon out in the name of Jesus. "The Pastor screamed, as he slapped Donivan with his sweat rag.

Brother Donivan proceeded to fall out. Screaming and crying, asking God to forgive him.

One of the deacons came over and helped Brother Donivan to his seat. But has he did he whispered something into his ear.

I glanced over at Latonya to see if she noticed what I noticed. And she smirked, confirming we were on the same page.

Church finally was over and everyone headed to their vehicles to head home and prepare Sunday dinner. Everyone left but Pastor Mcdonald and Brother Donivan.

Me and Latonya are riding in silence. You know that awkward silence, where you don't know what to say or your waiting on someone to say something first..

I looked her way, of course she's focused on the road. I look away as I look away we both scream,

"Girl!!!!

"I was thinking the same thing, wait was you thinking what I was thinking?" I said.
"Girl, yea about Pastor and Donivan." Said, Latonya
"So, why out the blew he want to start preaching on homosexuality ?" Latonya asked with curiosity.
"But have you noticed that him a Donivan been spending a lot of time together at the church? They always stay late or meet early. Something just don't sit well in my spirit with those two." I said.
All Latonya could say was, Hmmmm!

I looked at her like damn thats all I get is a hmmmm.

She dropped me off at home and she headed to her second job. The girl was always working.

I went in the house and started my food. Turned the game on while listening to a little Gerald Levert.

As I'm cooking my phone notifications are going off non stop. So I run to the phone to see what the fuss is about.

I get to my phone and there is message after message. One of the messages was from Latonya.

It reads

Girl, check the church group chat messages asap.

So, I exit out of the text message and log on to Facebook. Go to the messages and my mouth drops. I immediately call Latonya.

"Child, what the hell is really going on? "
