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.

Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
