A thing of memory (Drabble Prompt)
This old bowl reminds me of where I have been and the climb that came with it.
A life of drunken abuse and waste.
From birth till the day I broke through rock bottom, to find the cellar.
A darker place where there was nothing and no one; except God.
Everything was stripped from me, including those I loved.
But I began to rise, and grow anew.
This bowl, with a broken lid was what I ate from.
It was one of my most prized possessions.
And now it holds junk.
Much like that life I cast aside to die.
This is from a prompt about why you own something that someone might wonder about.
It’s a drabble. A piece of fiction or non-fiction done in exactly 100 words.

Why Do We Study Prophecy?
So, we know the seasons. The Bible is 30% prophecy, as some have stated. But, when you consider that the whole thing is about Jesus Christ, and that all the stories and pictures speak of Him, His First Coming and Second Coming, I think its more like 100%. God has called all believers to be…
Faith And Works
God works to build the Kingdom through us. James 2:14-26 In this passage. The apostle James, speaks of works being an aspect of our faith. It ends with the famous phrase “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” In the verses James shows that God commanded…
