It’s not an expedient job to do alone mind you), and even disinfecting the tin tither area regularly. Nobody’s ever called me “the help” to my face and it perplexes me as to why. I wouldn’t be bothered. I embrace it in fact. Helping the white man has always been a dream I hold near and dear to my heart. I’ve expressed this to Pastor Ezekiel several times when he explains why my paychecks are D̶e̶l̶a̶y̶e̶d̶ down payments on my tithing. Let’s look at The Bible and see what it has to say about being “help” and if it’s something to be bothered about.
Ephesians 6:5 is a verse I hold near and dear to my heart. “Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;“ Oh boy. If I weren’t finding myself in service, I may find myself on the fast train to being a lazy one who isn’t god fearing and instead on the railroad to HELL. Choo choo!!!!! It’s something many nigras fail to understand. See, the white man has always been generous in finding work for folks to work hard at. When the US made the unfortunate decision to abolish slavery, it’s fitted the black man with a higher challenge to remain hard working and on the pathway to Heaven’s doorstep.
Titus 2:9-10 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; This goes without saying. I’m incredibly obedient to Pastor Ezekiel and other white male parishioners and I can say WITHOUT A DOUBT that they please me all hours of the day when I am told how obedient I’ve been. Puts a smile on my face and theirs. Who doesnt want to be pleased regularly?
1 Peter 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. No hard worker should be too comfortable around their boss. If a boss is too soft, it would make me lazy, which would loop around again to Ephesians 6:5. Pastor Ezekiel understand this which is why he keeps me so busy.
<sigh> Sometimes I envy the black men and women of the US before the years of 1865. All that work to do would mean a straight path to Heaven with no detours or paths to wonder off scarily.
All that said, thank you for addressing me as “the help” around church and please continue to do so.

Nice to see someone accepting his God-given position in life. During the darkest hours of the day I've often asked you to lend me your "helping hand" and I've gotten release from my "blue" feelings. Of course, the time it took you to write this post will be deducted from your wages.
