Paragraph Components

 Pastor Johnson was probably an OG before he became

our Pastor. One reason I believe he was a OG is because
he did the Shmoney dance during offering. He also uses
terms that show that he has done hard time, such as
Chin Check and Dipping in the Kool Aid. Finally, he
drives a different car every Sunday and wears new suits
every week but says that the church out of money and
needs to tithe more. Im worried that one day Pastor
Johnson is going to start fighting Ushers for not holding
down the pulpit. All of these reasons lead me to believe
that Pastor Johnson was an OG before ministry.
