   So I am trying to understand how you can ask the victim to come forth about what is going on with you if you do not take what she says to you seriously?

    I felt so bad for this victim, she came to me and told me how she came forth about what happened to her, and they made her feel so bad.  She said, "I wish I would have kept it to myself. But, it was easier than dealing with people who do not understand what you are going through.  That young lady is the reason why I wrote this book.  Don't ever make a victim feel bad for telling you what she went through.  We can't have survivors until victims come out and tell us.

I thought that if you have seen the house where they live, you can feel why I would have a tree phobia and wanted to get off that land.

    You have to see the picture. This is their land, and it was like 3/4 mile inside the woods, not up the road, inside the woods.

    Because their grandparents lived there for more than 64-years, his mother, a pastor, got away with coercion, insisting on this almost murdering me.  Yes, he tried to kill me, and she knew; she came in the house after I screamed out the back door, "Help me."  I begged her to her face, "Please help me."  It broke my heart to watch his mother go out the door without saying one word to her son; I felt like she wanted him to kill me.

      You would think being married to a reverend and having a mother-in-law as a pastor of her church, grandfather deacon for 50-years and don't know how long his grandmother was a reverend, that it would be a great place to live with some Christian folks. 

     We had it all set up; every time he preaches, I sing a song.  However, when his mother put him on the pulpit with her, he wasn't ready.  He did not know how to tell her that he couldn't be up there yet.  So he tried to enlist me into the pulpit, and I said, "No, my calling will not come from you all; it has to come from God."  I was not in the habit of fronting on God.

     But as days went by, the teaching he taught me for two years forgot to surface with his actions.  It was nothing like we studied; everything he did was contrary to what God wanted for man-husbands. 

     I did not have a hard time living a Christian lifestyle; I just had a hard time believing that a "reverend" and "pastor" could lead double lives and be good with it.

    When I heard his grandfather working, I ran out that back door because he never had a problem telling his grandson he was wrong. But, unfortunately, I could not make it downstairs because he caught me and threw me back in the house. He picked up a two-by-four and swung at my head. A good thing I grabbed one of the kitchen chairs that were sitting to the left side of me, or else I would not be typing this right now.

    I remember him asking me, "How can I make the people come to bible study if my wife doesn't come to church?"  I responded with, "How can you teach bible study if you have not picked up a bible all week?  But you didn't have a problem cursing me out, though."

    His mother said, "Let's pray."  I said, "Find me a preacher." What shocked me; she told me, "It's because you're not my daughter is why I don't care about what he does to you."  She also said, "You deserve everything that you get."   He admitted to his mother on July 1, 2001, at 10:30 p.m. I can remember a specific date because the church first heard him preach; he preached, "Can I get a witness."  This is the first time he tried to kill me on that land and raped me, and she did nothing.  Yes, she owed a duty to my daughters and me because she was his mother's landlord; she should have told me that he was violent.  We lived in a trailer with no lights, water with none of the essentials.  At that time, that was better than living in a house full of giant black bugs that fly, scary.

People often find themselves in sexual or emotional positions and/or situations they never saw coming. By the time they realize what is happening it might be too late - they might find themselves sexual or emotional victims and in most cases scarred for life if fortunate not to lose it entirely.

It is important to know that your sexual or emotional disposition has its own language which you might be unaware of. All that is required to trigger your sexual or emotional urges is the right person or the right situation who speaks the language your body actually understands, which you might be totally oblivious to.

If you want to reduce your chances of being caught unawares emotionally or sexually, the answer is hidden in the Proverbs 7 story of the Bible which this book attempts to unravel.

“In the context of Proverbs 7, you are your barometer!”

I’m sharing news about my latest release, More Than  I Bargained For. This 4,500 word mini-mystery blends offbeat humor with the paranormal. You never know what you’ll find at an estate sale…

More Than I Bargained For

A Paranormal Mini-Mystery

Katie doesn’t like going to estate sales. Why? Because she sees dead people.

When Katie reluctantly attends an estate sale with her friend Diane, she gets more than she bargained for. The deceased former owner of the house, Grace, realizes that Katie can communicate with her, and she has a lot to say.

As Katie pretends to shop, Grace tells her the story of how she was murdered—and reveals that her killer is still in the house.

It’s up to Katie to uncover the murder weapon and get it to the police… before time runs out.
