it was a packed house. Our church is steadily growing with a congregation of almost 3000 people. However, Saint John’s Baptist church has a congregation of about 6000 people, doubling what we have.”
    “Oh yes, I know,” Mrs. Carter said. “Pastor Williams doesn’t live in that big old, seven bedroom house for nothing.” She said, having known him and his wife for over twenty-years.  “He’s really good with the word too, but I know you showed up and showed out for them.”
    “You already know it, mom. Dad would’ve been proud of me if he was there.”
    “I know he would’ve been. Unfortunately, he had to tend to some things here. Plus, since he’s been feeling better all he wants to do is get back in the church. Even though they love seeing you fill in his shoes, they’ve missed him.”
    “I know,” Finn said with a smile. He loved watching his dad preach. Since he was old enough to remember, he always sat on the front row of the church so he could take it all in. He idolized him and wanted nothing more than to be just like him when he grew up. He was like a celebrity in his own rights and it seemed that everyone loved him. This only trickled on to him as he grew of age. Over the years, he studied the bible from front to back and listened eagerly at his father’s sermons. At family functions, he’d show off his skills and the crowd loved him. He was gifted to follow in his father’s footsteps. So, when his father became suddenly ill almost two years prior, it was easy for him to step in until he was well enough to take back over his reign.
    “So, what’s on your mind? Is everything good with Janay and the baby?”
    “Yes,” Finn said not wanting to involve his mom in any of his personal affairs with his wife. She could easily take things and run with it. “I was calling to see if you would keep Brice for us. I wanted to take my wife out on a special date. She deserves it.”
    “Sure,” Mrs. Carter said. She didn’t care too much for Janay only because Janay was still acting funny with her, but she loved her grandson. He was a replica of her son and anytime she was around him it always took her back to when Finn was a baby. “I’ve missed him. I just wish that Janay would allow us to see him more. Have you run this by her?” She pondered, knowing that Janay hadn’t once allowed her to keep the little one alone as of yet without her being present.
    “Not yet, but she’ll be alright.”
    “I don’t know about that. She really doesn’t like me much.”
    Finn shook his head. “Mom, you threw the first blow, or shall I say blows. You treated her bad. You made it perfectly clear that you didn’t want her as your daughter-n-law. You have even tried to set me and Heather back up, knowing that I’m a married man.”
    Mrs. Carter sighed. “Heather is a good, wholesome, church going girl. Not to mention, that she’s really pretty.”
    “So is my wife,” Finn cut in.
    “I just didn’t see what was wrong with you and her getting back together.” She said, ignoring him.
    “Mom, I’m married. That’s a good enough reason.”
    “Y’all always had such the sweetest relationship.”
    “And, we still do. Just as friends, though. She has moved on and so have I. Have you forgotten that she has a fiancé in another country?”
    She smacked her lips. “Y’all are just making decisions to stay out of each other’s way. I knew how you felt about her.”
    “Those are the key words, mom.” He said with an irritable shake of the head. “You KNEW how I felt about her. Those feelings don’t exist anymore. Just continue to try and get along with my wife, because if you don’t then she’s going to continue to act the way she acts and with good reason.”
    “I’m trying, son. I see that no matter what I say, your decision has been made.”
    “Yes and please respect that. That’s all I’m asking you to do. If Janay wasn’t good for me, I’d know it because God would’ve told me already. We
