When Fruits of Life opened down the street all of my friends were dreading it. Their mothers were all excited. Since Mount Zion Baptist closed a few years back when Pastor Thomson was put in jail for bank fraud and tax evasion, we haven’t had a church close by. They just knew they were going to be dragged out of bed every Sunday morning to go sit in church. I was lucky. My stepdad thinks churches are a racket and, of course, the Mount Zion scandal just proved him right.
