Daddy King
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 Underground
Like that old spiritual "The underground says so the underground is where to go the underground frees the soul." My grandmother used to talk about a conductor named Sarah. She would sing this song whenever she was near by the slaves on the plantation. She would wait in the woods, wait in the forest till the slavedrivers went away. She would walk out of the woods fearless and brave. She would sing this song for the slaves to hear from their cabin. She knew if she get caught they would hang her but she believed that nobody should be bound and that everybody should be freed. She believed with all her heart, with all her mind, and with all her soul that freedom should be for everyone. Now some of the slaves thought they were having church at night because they were forbidden to have church during the day because sometimes masters were just paranoid and despiteful of rights. They did not like their slaves enjoying themselves and they thought if they taste freedom then they will never stop till they got it. Anyway Sarah would call to them make a bird noise after singing making a sound like a cooing near the cabin. It was rumored that conductors on the Underground were coming to free slaves. The Masters warn if any slave caught they might be put in chains where one move wrong would snap their necks or be branded like a cow. If they continue to fight then they would be hang from the highest tree. So some of the slaves came out worried and fearful to Sarah, she reassured them like a minister and said she was sought from heaven to guide them to freedom. And the slaves were convinced and quietly took themselves because they did not have much being locked within a no window cabin with no fire and hay for beds. As they moved further and somehow escaped their Masters, the slaves that Sarah carried with her wanted to learn the song she sang. Sarah promised to teach them as soon as they reached a stopping point. Sarah carried that old rifle which she said was for everyone protection. Just when Sarah was about to teach the slaves the song. She saw light from fire coming miles away and hearing distancely dogs and horses and bounty hunters. Sarah distracted almost miss the stopping point where there was a wagon with some folks to carry them to the next stopping point. The slaves rechanted for the song but saw that they were in danger and they waited with bags of grain on top of them with bags of black pepper spice. The chase was on on the underground and the bounty hunters reached around the stopping point and they relied on their dogs but the dogs cried from the black pepper left on the ground, it burned their noses and killed the sense of smell temporarily delaying the bounty hunters for days and setting them back because their dogs were their best friend and they relied heavily upon their smell which was very accurate and acute. Sarah and the slaves was dropped to another State almost to safety and they stopped at a church to see if it was in the North. The church was another stopping point, where they could rest for weeks, heal their wounds, and clean themselves and learn about freedom from the Quakers. And the slaves begged Sarah to teach them that song and she said I will teach you but you got to follow. So she sung the words, tell all my friends that I got to go. Tell Momma I love her but this ain't a home. Tell father I will be waiting but I gotta go. And after three time they got the song joining, Cause I got to go on the underground. The underground is where I must be. I must be away away away. Cause I gotta go. Must go to the underground where freedom is home. And so the bounty hunters had the press to distributed an article about the slaves all over the States where they estimated the slaves to be around as the bounty hunters' dogs and horses regain strength. And after weeks, the Quakers quietly assemble in Upper-South secretly told the slaves to move out. Sarah and the slaves refreshed took the last wagon out of town this one was much bigger than the last one. The slaves hid with the bags of grain and they held on tight underneath with hay and much comfortable than the last one. Sarah rode besides her Quaker friends till she reached the North with enough food to last for a couple of months. Sarah guided by her Quaker friends thought for sure the bounty hunters would not get them now that they are up North. But with rage the bounty hunters offered a huge reward for the slaves and even Sarah if caught alive. Sarah and the slaves and the Quakers parted ways but not without telling them how to get to Canada. Some of the slaves went with the Quakers and the rest followed Sarah to Canada. The bounty hunters were losing on the trail they came up very behind after weeks and weeks decided to spread a lie to protect their jobs. They called Sarah a witch and voodoo mistress and they paid people to turn freed men into slaves. They paid others to pretend to be Sarah. They were desperate and enrage. And the story of Sarah and the slaves she freed is still a mystery.

Grant's FBI
Fear has its grip. Fear can make you back off. Fear can make you not stand up for what is right. It is fear that is the author of confusion. And when officials fear that creates tumult. That creates chaos in a nation, it drives a nation on the brink of war within itself. And so we were driven to war, we were driven to fight for independence and freedom. It was the good fight of our days. It stands to the test of time. We have our places in history. We stood on the right side. We fought like men and warriors. But I am afraid now we must find a new way. A way to heal and reconcile without war and fighting battles. We must find a way to build bridges and build communities. We must find a way to end fight the craftiness of our foes to detour complete justice. To disarray the right things and inherited things that should be given to the freed people. They should not have to wait another moment or decade. They should not have to be wait another war. We must give them that which is entitled. The battle new now. The battlelines draw back before the war. These impostors want to take back freedoms and gouge at the hopelessness. And they say it would divide the country. It would tear down unity. It will not uphold Lincolnism. They care nothing about Lincoln or his dreams. They only want to build divisions. They only want to divide. They only want to craft up things ill gotten. I will stand for the true Lincoln. One who wanted freedom in everyway. One who refuse to bargain with ill gotten gains. One who believed in 'So Help Me God' even if I have to tear everything they built up. It's time to set an example since my time in office will run out and they are counting on the inevitable. I would set an precedent. The Federal Bureau of Investigations will govern and they shall bring peace to the nation. The FBI should govern when the government is closed and open. They should investigate and inform suscipious groups. We cannot allow Americans to hinder or live in fear from terrorists. We will build more agencies to outlive the president to create a new accountablity. A new indebted intuitive governance to ensure the rights and freedoms of all Americans and fight for a stable unity. Since this war is behind closed doors where they plotted to steal freedom and attack the innocent, their battle will be behind closed doors and behind the scenes to pick up the pieces of the division and bring reason to the enforcement from the crime and with judicial evidence bring down every enemy of the State including and even if the Presidency fails to act. We must be strong, we must be united, we must be one to end all wars. For we cannot let aggression from the Courts, Executives or Legislatives detour us. We must let justice prevail and we must be willing to give our lives for the service of the Country, its Effectiveness, its Efficiency to stop the heinous criminals, those who seek to dismantle the public and prepare to rage within our communities. They say Washington had a secret force, a spy network to immediately process justice and to rid the country of traitors either by jailing or banning from the country. We are that spy network made an agency to obteriate the enemy of the State and make silent warfare to not disturb the peace only to avert massive obstruction of justice.

The Ancients
The Ancients are interesting people and some think they weren't as advanced as we are now. Some think that they did not have the technology or the power or the money to perform the things we do now. I intended to prove opposite. I intended to prove the advancement of the Ancients and how they use their advancement based upon their religious belief. For instance in Egypt, women were having surgeries. It was common among the rich Egyptians to have surgeries in order to entice a suitor. They would get pregnant and then have an abortion so their breasts can enlarge and their hips become bigger. Being volumtous was popular back in those days as it is in our days. And they would have abortions if they were pressured by their families and suitors, men had more power in those days than today. They would ordered their spouse to do what they told them. Disobeying their husband mean to be cast out of your livelihood and lose all riches and fame. The Egyptians were wild and pomiscious. They would fight wars just to mate with other people and enslaved other people. They would kill most of the men if they did not submit so they could have their women and if a woman was too young then they would have her be a servant until she could bear. Now you understand where we get Love and Wars because that is what most wars were fought for, really Lust and Wars. People and nations would spy out other nations just to see their livelihood and their spouses, their community, their wealth, their children, and their security just to envy and covet their way of life. Now the Romans like the Egyptians adapting most of their ways, they would allow Romans to be more freed in their power as citizens. The Romans thought of themselves even more than the Egyptians of being gods and goddesses. They believe they could do whatever they want and say whatever they want. They as other Ancient Empires forces bondage on those who did not adapt to their ways, these bondage orders were slave code and these slave codes were built upon bigotry and ethnocentrism. They used a nation's religion like Alexander the Great to persecute foreigners and slaves. They learned the laws of the religion to used as a weapon to enforce their superiority and to forge the Roman Pax, or Roman Peace. The Romans exclusively were open to sexualities as their leader, their god, and their emperor could have many sexualities and satisifed that desire by turning any man or woman into their mate. This was noted under Nero and goes back as far as Juilius Caesar who lover was a King besides Cleopatra. Nero was noted for forcing and changing a man into a woman by removing his privates surgerically. And these mates of the emperors were passed down to every emperor until their death. The Ancients also had to think about eco-friendly, global warming even in their days. They used building products that still exist today that is why their temples, structures, and buildings still stand. We are still finding out about the unknown knowledge of the empires and I hope this enlightened society about its norms and enlightened the future to know where societal norms have come from and that they are an ongoing phenomenon in human history. We must understand and teach this history informed the world about the past and to investigate, perceived and gain knowledge so we could learn from their knowledge by critically theorizing the paths and making informed decisions about the future of our world.

Juneteenth National Holiday's Song
There was a time where if you were black or colored, you could not see a white person eye to eye. There was a time where you had to bow to others because you were not their race. There was a time where you had to give them anything they wanted and run along. My father told me of such a time and my mother reiterated about that time. You see he said, because your ancestors were slaves, they did not care much about you. They thought nothing for your life and cared little about your affairs even when freed, you were treated like servants. You could not prosper much more than white person. You could not be equal just separated. You could not speak to a white person without sir or madam. The punishment could mean lynching and hanging in extreme and at least a strike,a fist, a punch to the face besides court punishment and destroying personal properties. People were as rough as the mountains. People were as mean as the night. People were hurtful and indifferent. But that time is over, the story lives on. So I dedicated this song, Lift our Heads to remembering the time when we weren't freed and to recognized that this time we are. We are freed to lift our heads to look each other in the eye. We are freed to be strong and resilent. We are freed to walk together and hold hands and march together. We are freed to be who we are meant to be. Those chains of racism, ageism, sexism, and classism are broken because of those who fought before us. Those who were willing to die for us. Those who were willing to live out the dreams of a freed America. We owe these people remembrance. We owe them. It is our job to preserve the freedom for which others had sacrificed for. It is our job to fight the good fight for justice and ensure the future of all people. And the fight isn't over, the fight is still real. We still see injustices. We still see societal problems. We still see suffering. But if we lift our heads, if we lift others' heads. With hope in humanity, with hope in unity, with hope in selfless love then we can mount to anything. And our freedom is secured by protecting the freedom of others. Freedom is nothing alone. Freedom must be proclaimed. Freedom must be delivered. Freedom must be paid in full in order to mean something. Freedom is being guided by your heart and doing what's right. It is respecting others. It is preserving faith. It is true love for each other. It is helping when you can. It is building up people and not tearing down. It is rebuking the wrong and calling out the hatred. Freedom cannot compromise truth. Freedom cannot overlook or turn away from evil. Freedom must pierce evil in its eye and take it out. So we lift our heads above threats, we lift our heads above lies, we lift our heads above division. We lift our heads above till we see what evil has been hiding which is the truth that we all are free. That we all are equal, that all have right to life, that we all have right to hope, that we all have right to do what's best for us. We must lift our heads inspite of the struggle. We must lift our heads inspite of punishment. We must lift our heads inspite of the chaos till freedom ring from every corner and justice is given to everyone.

The Hope We Need
The country was struggling and reeling over the deaths from the pandemic. The country was on the verge of chaos. The country was shaken but not in dismay. The country was disturbed but not divided. We could not take it anymore. We could not stand with dividers. We could not walk with lies and deception. We could not compromise the truth. And this was the perfect opportunity to bridge the gap, to bridge the divide and reinstated hope. My long journey with the prestigious Congresswoman came to a climax. We were bridging the gap. We were healing the wounds of the people. We were trying to liberate the people. We worked tirelessly together during the Dark Ages of American History. We fought side by side with ideologies and ideologies. We had hope. There were times of distress. There were times of worry and fear but we stood up to this side by side. I was her friend and she was my mentor. We were in this together. We had lost too many friends and been threatened too long. We came a long way. We crossed many bridges. We overcame too much. So many people have given up so much and so many friends have died in the fight and so many friends have suffered because of silience. It was time, not about emotions, not about hatred, not about feelings. But we were dedicated to the American principle, to the American ideologies that everyone was freed born freed and created equal. America we knew was better than this. Better than favoritism. Better than money. Better than wealth. Better than twisted ideologies. America is hope. America is love. America is peace. America is strength. And that's what it should be everyday in everyway forever. I put my trust into her. And she put her trust into me. We were good friends. I love brainstorming and she loved implementing. She was my leader and I was her friend. Though years apart, we stood in this together fighting the good fight for the justice of America. We did not waver. We did not back down even when the times were rough and we had to be tough. She carried the javelin and I carried the cross. We knew life or death, freedom was sacred and important to the essence of this world. As she rose, she did not leave anyone behind. She kept the spirit and she kept the faith. She was strong in wisdom and strong in actions. She was meant to lead and she was meant to win. She was meant to subdue and she was meant to conquer. And I was a support among many. And when she asked me to throw in the hat, I threw my hat in. Because patriotism was more than divided. Patriotism was more than ambition. Patriotism was more than opportunitist. Patriotism was life and a meaningful death. We have to set the liberty that abounded at rest. We had to do the impossible and by faith we did. We had to be stronger than our feelings. We had to be stronger than our hearts. We had to be stronger than our guts. Yes because it was war. it was division, it was democracy on verge. And she made me known to the leader of the free world who so faithfully executed justice and liberty for the healing of America. Moved by his passion for justice and ambition for prosperity for all. I sworn allegiance and sealed with this song, Hope, which has biblical roots and inspired by Langston Hughes. We cannot defer hope for hope defer will dried up like a raisin in the sun.

The Last Days of King
The Scripture says after doing everything to stand and stand firmly. And that is just what I am going to do. Remembering where I was brought from going in and out of prison, being beaten in and out of season. Remembering where I was saved from. It has been a long journey. It has been a long mighty road. We were not alone my friend. We were not alone at all. We walked with each other holding hands down the uncertain road. We walk with grace and dignity for the fight of freedom. We walked unafraid of scourging and unafraid of the pain we were going to face. No those officers did not get the best of us. No those dogs in our way did not get the best of us. We stood on freedom's ground with our heads held high. Because we knew what we were fighting for. We knew where we were delivered. We made up in our minds to fight on. We made up in our minds to live and not die. And if we die then we die the fight of freedom. We die the death of the righteous and the Almighty will see and delivered us again and again. I speak unafraid. I speak without a doubt. My faith is reassured. My hope is still there. I did not forget the foundaiton of my faith. I did not forget where I was delivered. I still remember the chains. I still remember the pain. I still remember the relief of salvation. I still remember my upbringings and where I now stand. And I am telling you we will see victory. We will see deliverance. And if I don't make it with you, remember what I taught you, remember where we were brought from, remember the trials and tribulations and don't ever forget where you were delivered, don't ever forget where you were saved, don't ever forget because mean our cause was for nothing and my friend I didn't walk for nothing. You didn't confront those officers for nothing, you didn't go to jail for nothing, you didn't get beaten halfway to death for nothing. It was for the glory of his coming, it was for the righteousness prepared for us, it was to ensure the rights we must be given, the freedom that must not be sparing.

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.
