Rev. Paris Pearson's dreams were about to come true. After a 10 year delay in his 5 year life's plan, he was about to move from his current ministerial position; to the fulfillment of his vocational dream as a Senior Pastor at a "down home" country church. He would soon discover that there would be a lot more to this dream job than he could have ever imagined. He would soon learn that the people he went to pastor may have been sanctified but they were not yet glorified.
This is the story of a young minister that with the help of a supportive family, a patient congregation and a gracious Lord; he would begin his journey into building a legacy of caring service.
