Six Sentence Story: Blend

Brian built a following by blending doom and gloom prophecies with prayer that the prophecies would not come true.

If a prophecy occurred, he took credit for being a pretty good prophet. If it didn’t, he declared that his prayers had enough pull with the Lord for them to work.

When Brian’s critics pointed out that being right on one leg of a hedged bet implied he would have to be wrong on the other, he ridiculed them. He reminded them that the Lord Himself was telling him what to do.

The Lord could not recall telling Brian anything.

Denise offers the prompt word “blend” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

Matthew 6:5 KJV – And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
