Stars and Rainbows

“When it rains, look for rainbows. When it’s dark, look for stars.” It was one of those “motivational quotes” printed on the front of a folder in a store we were shopping in. Normally, I wouldn't have looked at it twice. But that saying stopped me in my tracks. I couldn’t stop staring at the …

The First Step

(A Short Story) Sea of Galilee 29 AD  I ran across the shore of the Sea of Galilee, my feet pounding against the sandy ground. But my mind raced faster, a million thoughts rushing through it all at once. I could not get my thoughts straight -- not after what I had just seen.  Two …

Upside Down & Backwards

Hey everyone!! Okay, I just wanted to share this mind-blowing thought process that I've been noticing/thinking about alot lately.

The Brighter They Shine

(A Short Story)  “Lidia, watch out!”  My best friend frantically shouted to me and pushed me out of the way. We both landed in a heap on the ground, just outside the path of the mob of men that threatened to trample us.  “Adah, are you okay?” I asked as I picked myself up and …
