   Chapter 3 and 4...you may need tissues for ch. 3
Chapter 3 The “Freaks”

Philippians 3:15 “Let us therefore, as many as be perfect ,
Be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be
Otherwise minded, God shall reveal
Evan this unto you.”


Sara on the side walk leading to her house. “I am so happy.” she said to herself as she opened the door. “Hey brother! I am home!” she said as she laid her book bag down and walked into the living room. “Hey Sara. How was your day at school?” then the phone rang. “Hold on Sara.” he said as he answered the phone. “I will be right down.” he said as he stood up and walked into the hallway to get his jacket. “Tell me tonight when I get home dear. They just called and said that they need me at work.” he said as he kissed her forehead. “Okay Brother! God Bless!” she said as she watched him walk out the door. “Oh by the way brother….I met some more Christians today at school….” she said as she stared at the door. She then walked into the living room. “WHY DOES HE ALWAYS DOO THIS TO ME?!” She said as she turned on the TV. “Where is Shawn, Tara, and James when you need them?” she said a she turned it onto the Christian TV Channel. “Oh Jeremy Camp is on…” she said as she stood up and grabbed the phone. “I will call…oh wait they hate me since I am Christian….I do not have Shawn, or Tara and James Number.” She then walked into the kitchen. “I guess I better get some supper for me and Brother ready…” she said as she started to cook.
Later on that night past midnight, Sara was done asleep on the couch. Mark then opened the door and walked in. “Sara I am home…” he said as he walked past the couch and seen her laying there. “Awww
Sara…” he said as he covered her up. “I just hope that they didn’t follow me home…” he said as he locked the door and closed the blinds. “Brother?” Sara said as she wiped her eyes. “Hey there Sara….I need to get you to safety…” he said as he helped her up. “What is going on?” she said as she looked at him in confusion. “There is a mob on its way here because they found out that we are Christians. They done burnt down the church…” he said as he opened the door to the basement. “Now you stay down here and when you hear them, I want you to go out of the window and run as fast as you can and go as far as you can.” he said as he placed his hands on her face. “What about you?” she said as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I am going to hold them off as long as I…” He then heard them pounding on the front door. “Open up!!!” He then looked back at Sara. “Remember what I told you…” he said as he ran upstairs. “Mark!” she said as he locked the door. Then she heard them bust open the door. “Are you the only person here in the house?” she heard a man say upstairs. “Yes I am…what do you want?” Mark said as he looked into the eyes of the man. “I am here to plainly kill you if you do not denounce you believe in Jesus…” Mark then looked at him and said boldly. “I BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!” At that, the man then shot him. Sara then screamed a little. “Sir did you hear that?” another man said to the leader. “Probably a cat….lets burn down the house.” Sara then crawled out the window and started to run. When she looked back, she seen her house go up in flames. Her Bible, her brother, all of her memories gone.

Friends……
Philippians 4:4: Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say Rejoice…….



The next morning, Sara walked back to the sit of what used to be her home. “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution….” she said as she looked at the remains. She then looked and seen a place that looked like it had not been touched by the flame. When she walked over there, she started to cry. It was hers and her brother’s Bible… “Thank you God….” she said as she held the two Bibles close to her heart. She then looked up to the sky. Then she felt someone hand on her shoulder. She was for sure it was the people that done this. “You’ve come to finish me off?” she said as she started to cry. “No we have come to comfort you…” she heard Shawn’s voice say. She then turned around. “Oh Shawn….” she said as she started to cry into his chest. “That is why we are here.” the Tara joined in the hug. James then joined. “Sara has lost more than we could ever lose…” she said as she hugged her hurt friend. “He is gone Tara…” she said as she cried some more. “Dear Heavenly father, I thank you for this day, I thank you for Sara, Lord. God I pray that you give her the strength threw this lose God, and let her never take her eyes off of you. Lord as Paul says to the Philippians, Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say Rejoice. In Jesus Name,, Amen….” Shawn prayed as he held Sara. Sara then looked up at him. “I know by brother is with mom and dad now.” she said as she smiled. Tara then smiled at her. “You want to stay at our house Sara?” Tara asked as she looked at Sara with tears in her eyes herself. Sara just nodded. “Then it is settled.” she said as they all four walked off.
Tara walked into her house and their mother met them at the door. “Tara who is our friend?” she said as she dried her hands on her apron. “This is Sara….the Muslims killed her brother and burnt down her house last night.” she said as she looked over at Sara. “Oh dear. Does she have a place to stay? If you don’t dear, you can stay here. James go and fix your and Tara’s room to where three people can stay in there.” James then ran upstairs. “Thank you Mrs. Johnson.” she said as she looked down. “My pleaser. I would do anything for a young girl that stood up for the Bible in the face of a class of Muslims.” she said as she smiled at her. “So Tara told you about me?” she said as she started to blush. “Tara get her some of you pajamas and let her take a hot shower.” Mrs. Johnson said as she looked at them sweetly. “I will have lunch done here soon so yeah.” Sara and Tara nodded and walked up the stairs. “Your mom is so sweet.” Sara said as she watched Tara. “Yeah…so is my dad….he is at work right now but he will be home at 4:30.” James then walked out there. “I have the room fixed.” he said as he smiled at Sara.
Later on that evening, after Sara had gotten use to everything, Sara and Tara sit on the couch. “If you don’t mind, tell me about your brother…” she said as she smiled at Sara. Sara then smiled. “I guess it will help to talk about these things….” she said as she looked at James and Mrs. Johnson. “Well….my brother’s name was Mark. He was 18. II have lived with him since I was about 6 years old. My parents were killed when I was 5. After they passed away, I moved in with my aunt and she passed away about 4 months after I moved it. Then they told my brother and he brought me here with him to live here.” she said as she looked down at the ground. Tara and James then put their arms around her. “Listen….he is up in Heaven with your mom and dad now. He is there waiting for when you go home…” Sara then smiled at them. “I thank God everyday for meeting you guys at the library….” She said as she smiled at her. “We are glad that we met you there too.” Tara said as she looked at them. Sara then smiled at them. “Man what time is it?” Sara said as she looked at James. “It is around seven.” He said as he at her. “I am already tired now.” James then looked at her. “I will show you to you room if you like?” Sara nodded. Tara then smiled at them. “I will see you here in the morning.” Tara, her mom, and the others nodded. Sara and James then walked up to the room. “You know…ever since we met you, you are all Shawn talks about…” he said as he opened the door. “What?” she said as she stepped in behind him. “There is your bed…” he said as he smiled at him. “Thank you….” she said as she laid down and went to sleep
