I have come to realize that church can be the very stage to play out ones inner emotions, talents and abilities. It has now become a place where the synergy of a person's life that was once viewed as a place of healing and restoration is now a place where a person's wounds are turned into spiritual cancer. This is the very essence of why we have so many churches on each corner and no one is coming to be saved. People are being misled, and many of us are at fault. We have gospel musicals, plays, and annual padding pocket days only to realize that it is not God's purpose for His Church. We see some pastors, bishops, overseers, and church goers promoting self as a type of God. Jesus never gave any thought to self-elevation; however, it seems that some modern-day preachers or pastors do not care about God's vision anymore. I have seen the Church go without true ministry so that a pastor can get most or all of the money and no real ministries are carried out. I write this book not that I am better than any but for all Christians who may never speak theses words loudly. This book is also for those who cannot seem to put into words what they have seen or experienced; for those voiceless individuals who have been neglected of need. This book, "Excuse me Pastor! I Don't Want Your Church," is birthed out of inspiration and not jealously. It is my deepest desire that we all gain a better insight on what the purpose of "God's Church, His Mission and His vessel" really is. I do believe that many people are not coming to our local buildings because we have been tricked by Satan in thinking that the building is "The Church." Some may have also actually believed that the Church belongs to a man and not to God Himself. New buildings are built, new programs come and go, and the so called "hottest" choirs and soloist are simply a vapor before our eyes. The question still remains are people really getting to know Christ as their personal Savior? This writi

What kind of woman joins the Tea Party? In her memoir, Judy describes the people and events she feels most influenced the woman she is today - a Tea Party activist. From playing street games in Newburgh, New York in the forties, to marrying "up" in a shotgun wedding, owning a business, raising a family, and tutoring English as a second language, she details how her exposures provoked her political evolution from Liberal Democrat to Conservative Constitutionalist. Always a student of human nature, Judy has written a personal story focusing on the generational changes in American cultural beliefs that threatened her marriage and continue to threaten traditional American values. That's who joins the Tea Party - people who notice increased social dysfunction and feel compelled to try to do something about it. Based primarily on her experiences with minorities before, during, and after the Civil Rights movement of the sixties, Judy concludes that the progressive policies of the political Left have created and maintained the poverty and dysfunction now present in our black ghettos. "I was there," she states. "I watched it happen."

It was a meteoric ascension into the ranks of the top professional bull riders in the world for young Billy Ray Robbins. Following the death of his father in a military helicopter accident, Billy Ray and his mother move to Texas, where he is introduced to the sport of bull riding. Being the holder of a black belt in karate, he utilizes his amazing athletic ability to quickly excel in the sport. On a journey in which living on the edge becomes a normal way of life, Billy Ray easily breezes through the ranks of high school and amateur bull riding and soon finds himself in the middle of a world title run during his rookie year. He teams up with his girl friend Jennifer, the daughter of one of the greatest bull riders to ever pull a rope, and the Homer Lee, the obnoxious dog who rides in the back of his pickup truck, weather permitting. They burn up the highways, competing simultaneously in PBR (Professional Bull Riders) and PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) events across the country, living fast, staring danger and death in the face and taunting it on a daily basis. Johnny Rardon, Jennifer's father, is likely the only person with enough influence on Billy Ray to pull in the reins long enough to give pause to caution, but his intense sense of fair play may preclude him from doing so. Together, they weather all that the storms of life can throw at them, until they run into the ultimate storm, the one that challenges everything they stand for, including their right to stay alive. In the aftermath of the disaster, Billy Ray must do some serious soul-searching as he embarks upon a walk-about, desperately seeking some sign that he is still meant to ride bulls. He suspects that he is on some kind of collision course with a notorious bull called Baby Axe, who was raised by Jennifer's father, but he's not sure he has the desire anymore to continue. Of one thing he is certain, if he is to continue on his course to a world title, that path will surely lead throu
