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.

The Coming Storm
The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…
Thanking God
We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…
