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.

How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…
As If By Fire
We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
