Hello, everyone, I am a 54 year old Preacher who lives in the New England colonies, Connecticut to be more exact. I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy God. God be with you.

Something life changing has just occurred today, and I want to share it with you all. Recently I gave my first sermon on October 7th, 1770 and it was unbelievable. It was an incredible opportunity, and the fact that so many citizens in the town came to hear me was flabbergasting. I have never been...

I know the feeling that you got from giving your first sermon. I still remember my first sermon like it was yesterday. The feeling that you have changed the minds of so much people and have done the right thing for god is overwhelming. At times I feel God takes over and I am lost in God and he shows me the way to help others and convinces them to go to Church. I hope you keep preaching and have a great time doing so.

*Present Day March 1692 Age: 62*  Why me! After I devoted my life to you, why would you do this to me, God! Today is a very shocking day in my life, it is also very sad. Today I found out that my wife is a witch. I don’t know what to do with myself. I have this curse placed upon me. No one knows what I know. I should have known all along that she was like this. She truly stuck out in the crowd. Her personality and abilities were magical, but in a bad way. Now my children are sons of witches! I must inform someone about her but I cannot stay here. I must abandon my colony. Staying here and watching the trial will do me no good. I will turn her in and leave as soon as possible.

I must take my education and everything of value to me and leave. I will leave to a different colony because over here I am too ashamed to stay. I feel betrayed, it feels sad leaving my childhood memories behind in Massachusetts Bay. I will say my goodbyes and depart from Massachusetts Bay forever. I will go to New Hampshire and I will hope for a new start. I still believe that God can help guide me to a new life, just like my father left England for a new life. I will live the rest of my life as a farmer or shipbuilder, I will let the people of New Hampshire decide. I am an old man now, I have little to live for. I will live for myself, God, Pikachu, and the wishes of my dead father.

I’ve never trusted a lot of women in my life, and this shows how dangerous the female society of today can operate. They must all be placed under the headsman axe and make sure they never get to see the sunlight of tomorrow. I’m very sorry for the detrimental loss of your wife, and I know you can do more than her.

I too have not trusted many women in my life. They create drama and cause anarchy. I only believe in myself and God. Our savior shall show us the way and open our eyes, very forcefully. We will see the truth and whether good or bad we must live with that. Women also create emotions which we do not need if we have god. DEATH TO THE WITCHES!

My life is soon coming to an end

Friends, Family, God, I have lived a great 54 years but very soon I have a feeling i will be joined by God and all those that I have lost. I have become very sick recently and I notice that things that I have done with great ease have become more of a challenge. I no longer have the passion for the things that I loved before, such as preaching and going to the tavern. This is no longer as enjoyable as it once was. Sadly this is my ultimate downfall, but I have nothing to be sad for, I lived a Great life,in a great colony. I had a great family which still loves me to the last moment of my life. I had great parents who helped mold me into the person I am today. I love this feeling. This is when you discover if you truly love someone or not and vise versa. Do not fret my friends and followers my legacy will live on because you will carry it on. You will try to maintain the history I made the mark I made on this earth and the mark I made in gods heart. I know God is proud of me. I have told Gods story and why everyone should believe in him, some have listened and some have not. I have only a couple of days two weeks at most I am told. I will live the rest of my life around the people I love and those who love me. Goodbye good world, I will miss you but I will see you all in Heaven.

Very recently I have been seeing a special someone for a long time. I think I am getting further with my relationship with her but I can never tell. She tells me i'm a great friend but WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, I have never been so confused over something so dumb. I think the term is I've been friend-zoned. A couple of weeks have passed and we are getting married very soon. I am so happy and love god for giving me this opportunity with this woman and I hope we will live a very long and happy life. I am inviting everyone to come and celebrate this joyous moment with me and my wife, Sarah Pierpont. This relationship will brew a great life in which we will care for our children and create a family bond which will be known to everyone, both old and young.

Today I went to see one of my fellow friends preach about our God. Because of all this mayhem going on right now i needed a little time to relax and wind down. His preachings are very upbeat and exciting he brings everyone in to the hands of god. This helped me because my life isn't going so well right now because my wife died as well as my first child. I needed a little pick me up so i decided to go. After the preaching I felt like a completely new person. So I decided to go to my family and spend some time with them. I went to my mothers house and had some tea and we talked together. It was a good time, I can't believe she is almost a hundred years old, its unbelievable. She says that she lives so long because of the fresh New England air which makes you live longer. However I don't believe that to be the case. What makes New England air so much better than other air, such as the air in other colonies. When I went to other colonies i didn't feel different and it didn't smell different. Maybe its something in the air but I don't really know and I guess we will never know.

The Salem Witch Trials

Gentlemen, today we have found a new threat, one that will try to eliminate mankind off the side of the earth, witches. In Salem two girls were discovered to be witches and under control of the devil. They were put through a trial if they died they were not witches, however if they survived they were witches and must be sentenced to death. Many people are dying here most of them being older women. I don't know how much longer this will go on for but all i know is that these people deserve to die for them being witches. I want this to be clear for anyone who doesn't know what is going on, these witches are threatening our way of life and the peace and calm that is here. They want to take that calm and create anger for us to not understand what is going on or what is happening. They take our souls and pit them against one another like they are playing a game of chess or checkers but if the players leave the game all will be good and what has happened has happened so we must move onto the future of these great colonies.

I have decided what I want to be in the New World

Today I have decided to become a preacher at the age of 29 years old. It’s really cold right now but hopefully it gets better soon. One thing that I noticed was that everyone here is very sad and gloomy. It seems as if religion has flown away and gone somewhere else. I’m going to try to spark the religious interest back into the hearts of the colonists. These people are walking over the pits of hell on a rotten covering. No one wants to go to church but everyone wants to be saved by god. I will try to incorporate metaphors into my preaching since it is so popular at this time. Hopefully I will be successful in my mission and bring more people to churches and make gods more accepting of the people of the New England colonies.In other news I have moved to Connecticut. It's really cold over here but other than that it's really nice. Oh, and the food is really boring and bland. For every meal of the day all I have is stew and bread occasionally we eat some meat. I wish there was some variety but there's nothing I can do about that. Also one thing that's to my liking is that there is so little work to do... at least for us white men. All to most of the work is done by the slaves we brought from Africa. Most of my day is spent sitting at home, drinking tea, and reading the Connecticut gazette.
