Hi Sankey, this is a really good chapter and the musical theme throughout is great. The anecdote about the wedding is excellent - get me to the church on time and the incident with the traffic accident. But then, the reader is saddened to learn about the difficulty with your hearing and having to give up playing the organ at church. It's reading very well now, my friend. I don't know, Sankey, people telling you what to do and what to believe is annoying. Why should you attend if you don't want to. You can be a spiritual person and not go to church. Sounds like you handled the situation as maturely as possible. Very best wishes, Pete :)

Hi Sankey, I didn't see your new post on my listing. It should show up. That's an old comment from last time. I'll go on your page and have a look but I'm shattered, just been asleep.

Your story is quite well-written, and certainly rings of truth. Twelve years later.. you finally get compensated for the monies you had to pay in damages.. wow, I am not so sure I would not have 'blown my stack' long before that.
You were upset when the pastor's wife chided you for calling him by his first name. I hope it was not because it was a "woman" who you felt was usurping her authority over you. Would you have felt the same if it was a man? LOL Just askin', I have a curious nature.
Your memory of events is incredible. :) Sandra

Hi Sandra thanks for the review if you knew this woman she was something else. She was going over the top at me because of rules around the place regarding "respect" but I have always said respect is earned not demanded. I was in college with Peter so I felt in private we were on the same level. Besides I am also older than him in the Lord and chronologically anyway.

You are continuing to tell your story well in a very conversational way. It is like listening to you talk. It is too bad you had to quit the music since you enjoy it so much but you certainly didn't need to have your blood pressure shoot but because of your hearing problems.

Hi Beth. Thanks for the support. I have just given links to some friends of mine fro outside and they are joining FS so they can read my stuff too. Not sure if I said but I am up to hear with Advanced editor. That is what was causing me problems with this last chapter getting it tidy and readable. Which editor do you use for your stuff? I am now building up more as someone called it "Funny Money" hehe or Member Dollars by reviewing so I can get another chapter out. One lady said she is reviewing 500 others on FS Wow! Better than PAYING extra real Money to reward the reviewers! huh! Cheers and thanks again.
-
I do use the Advanced Editor. You have more choices on it, but it can trip you up too. Evil Eddie doesn't limit himself to the plain editor.
I've never paid any momey to FanStory other than the joining fee and then I do it for two years for a better price break. Reviewing is the way to go. I don't review over 10 or so a day but I have over $600 in my FanStory account. I've won a few contest for dollars too. I can promote a lot of stuff. I just need to write it.

Comment from Norbanus
In church it's often easier find
someone to make a loud and joyful noise
than find one who will put in all the grind
to learn to sing and not yell with the boys

Isn't it amazing that those who preach to us daily about being so close to God, are the hypocrites, who fail to know the true meaning of the word "Christian." I think they are two-faced and what you see in church is one face, but how they truly are comes out as soon as the service is over. I'm certain that you're not the only person to ever have these kind of issues with the parishioners. At least you've manged to keep your sense of humor.God bless and thanks for sharing.

Hi Glad I am on track. Send me a link to that chapter if you lime if I don't pick it up in the flow. I really like how we can help each other get our stuff out for reviews with incentives so as not to pay real Dollars as I did in the first place. Been saving lots since I got onto this system of us all helping each other as we can. Cheers.

Just look me up lindalcreel and you'll see my posts. Happy reading.

I enjoyed the stories you told here.They are down to earth. I'm glad the church finally paid you back the insurance money. They should have had the van insured.

An interesting life story.
Dificult to read though as something is going wrong with your formatting.
There are half sentences everywhere and symbols in several places. It presents in the short sentence version of an email.
Go back and check where the formatting has gone awry and I'll be happy to re-read and upgrade the rating.
Don't be offended by this rating for once the glitch is found and fixed everyone will be able to enjoy your work better. I will happily then raise the rating.
A great job at re-editing. Formatted well and an interesting read.
