She asked Sister Connie Fuse to go to the They-All-Dying-To Git Here cemetery and drop off her monthly payment. If Mother Pray Onn had not done that, it might have been a calm day in Pelzer, South Carolina. However, since Sister Connie Fuse could not decide what to wear to make a grave payment she got a late start, and that was her first mistake. Her second mistake; she accidentally put Mother Pray Onn's grave layaway payment through the mail slot of the We'll-Haul-Your-Ashes crematorium which was right next door. Later that same day, Mother Pray Onn got the telephone call from the crematorium, and when she discovered what Sister Connie Fuse had done, well it was on after that. Poor Sister Connie Fuse! She's been trying so hard, for most of her life to find and serve God. When she joined the Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell church and got saved, she thought her search was over. That stuck in menopause church mother, Mother Pray Onn has asked the newly-converted Sister Connie Fuse to take her grave layaway payment over to the Dyin' To Git Here cemetery. She made a mistake and put it through the mail slot of the We'll Haul Your Ashes crematorium. Excerpt "Ma Cile, I'm trying to be a good Christian. That's why I spend so much time in church," said Sister Connie. "I've been searching for God for so long and in so many places that until I joined Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell, church,I had just about given up hope of ever finding Him." "That's what I'm trying to tell you Chile. You keep running from church to church, and prophet to prophet. Every time you hear about a tent meeting, temple meeting, mosque meeting or a camp meeting, you end up running there. I even seen you at the last PTA meeting and you ain't got no kids," said Ma Cile as she struggled to sound serious.

Taking Us Back To Church
What a funny story--poor Sis. Connie Fuse. How she anguished over her plight with Mother Pray On. I was so happy for her when she overcame her insecurities in the end. I enjoyed Sister Carry On, Lil' Bit, June Bug, and Ma 'Cile. This cast should be on a live stage--I can't wait to read more from this writer. I also recommend Sister Betty! God's Calling You!

Tellin' The Truth About Church Folks
Every church has a Sister Connie Fuse in it. You all know her! She probably sits next to you and keeps up more confusion that any member. Pat O'George has captured the heart and soul of so-called church folks, who keep up mo' hell than the devil himself. Yet, the author keeps the focus of God honest and pure while using comedy as a way to tell the truth. Way to go Pat! Anfra Boyd/You Are My Sister

Gospel Message in Humor
Pat G'Orge-Walker has created a new and ingenious method of getting the message of God's love to the masses. Despite your denomination you will recognize every character. All of the spiritually challenged members, from Rev. Knott Enuff Money, Sister Ima Hellraiser, Bishop Was Nevercalled, Deacon Laid Handz, Sister Betty, etc. We know these people. To create a character such as Joe Bill, an angel-in-training who got into heaven on a technicality was the catalyst. You cannot read these stories without laughing outloud and asking yourself, "How can I change myself?"
