These dedicated youth organized a rally that they call P.R.I.D.E. (Protestants Rally Inside the Den of Evil---Washington D.C.). The purpose was to go to the Nation’s Capital and spread the Glories of being a true Christian (Baptist) to the DEMONcrats. Brother Lester and his long time roommate from college, Stephan Voyles, had entered a beautifully embroidered quilt in the Men’s Arts and Crafts competition at the Church Spring Bazaar. The depiction of Christian (Baptist) men holding hands and down on their knees in prayer on the quilt won them the Grand prize! These dedicated young men walked away from the festival with a Blue Ribbon and an all expense paid trip to Washington to go and personally rebuke the then President, Slick Willy, and his lying wife, Hellary. The prize winning quilt entitled, "On My Knees before Him", so inspired the other young men of the Church that they wanted to go on the trip to Washington as well. Lester and Stephan, always willing to go the extra mile for the young men of the Church came up with a brilliant plan. They would host a lock-in for the young men at their loft (which served as their bachelors pad and adjacent floral supply wholesale warehouse) and devise a way that each of them could raise the funds for the trip without dipping into their allowances. Well, they must have had near 200 young men join them for this weekend of prayer and brainstorming. Not to be outdone by the boys, Ann Hayes, College Women’s Golf Coach, and her housemate Karla Hale (a Basketball coach from the University) decided to follow suit and have a Young Women’s Retreat so that they too could attend. The final result from these dedicated leaders and their young followers was nothing short of a miracle. The boys emerged from Lester and Stephan’s with hundreds of hand painted ceramics flower pots and porcelain tea sets. And the young women, surprisingly, managed to hand forge some of the loveliest cast ironed patio sets you have ever seen. The two groups organized an arts show which they called G.A.Y. TEENS (Godly Artifacts for You ) and raised over $75,000.00. Thus the beginning of the P.R.I.D.E. March every year in Washington. The next weekend they loaded up the chartered buses and headed to D.C. to spread the word of Christ. Friends, this will be the seventh generation of G.A.Y. TEENS to participate in a church sponsored P.R.I.D.E. rally. Lester and Stephan will host the annual artistic lock-in for the boys and Ann will once again work with the Junior Baptist Ladies to create their famous cast iron patio furnishings. However, she and Karla had some sort of falling out and now she is leading the girls group with Marsha Brown, one of the original teens who Ann met at her first retreat and has become inseparable from ever since. The P.R.I.D.E. March has now grown to several hundred thousand chapters around this USA. The Lord works in mysterious ways doesn’t he? Last years P.R.I.D.E. attendees told tales of laying on of hands with P.R.I.D.E. members from around the country, all night Christian Gospel Raves, and hours spent on their knees. In prayer. They were even kind enough to bring back lovely Noah’s Ark rainbow flags for us to proudly fly from our front porches. And the LIEberal media would have you to believe that today’s youth are mislead. Quite the contrary. They are intelligent, creative, and very dedicated to holding hands and spreading His word with their Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
The 2001 P.R.I.D.E. Parade will begin at 9:00 AM on Leviticus Lane and will end up at the church parking lot reserved for Recreational Vehicles and visiting tour buses. I will be leading the parade in a lovely Noah’s Ark Rainbow designed slip dress by Vera Wang and riding on a float created by the GOD’S GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM that they call, “GOD LOVES GAY GIRLS TOO”. (Well of course he does. God loves all Godly Affluent Youth, male and female alike). As we make our way through Historic Downtown Freehold followed by the Men’s Choral group, The Baptist Beauties Of Basketball, and countless other supporters of G.A.Y. P.R.I.D.E., I will be tossing out Jack Chick Bible Tracts and little Noah’s Ark Rainbow Flags to the expected crowd of 125,000. When we have made our way back to the church and the young people are loading up the rainbow colored buses for the trip to Atlanta, I will be taking the church jet to the Hartsfield airport with Mrs. Judy O’Christian and several of God’s Chosen few from my Sunday school class. In Atlanta I will be joining my Dear Sister in Christ Mrs. Betty Bowers for a light lunch at her Buckhead manse and then off to the G.A.Y. P.R.I.D.E. FESTIVAL at Piedmont Park. (Between you and I, I am not expecting a big turn out as Atlanta is one of the top ten cities for debauchery and Godlessness in the country) There may be hope though as the fine people there have organized a Commitment Ceremony for this evening! I am in prayers that many people will show up for this event and rededicate their lives to the Lord. Following this will be an array of Christian parties,and G.A.Y. P.R.I.D.E. events in which I am sure the powers of the Spirit will be evident. I expect that there will be more laying on of hands, and people down on their knees before Him throughout the city than you can shake a Baby Jesus Glow Wand at. On Saturday and Sunday, there are so many parties and events planned that I am reminded of the Debutante season from when I came out a young girl. This will no doubt be a season of G.A.Y. P.R.I.D.E. festivals that yours truly will not soon forget |
Mrs. Christian USA, Sister Taffy, will give the opening devotion G.A.Y. P.R.I.D.E. 2001 PARADE in Freehold, Iowa
