In the Evening

Dale offers the prompt “in the evening” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Although they are after sunset, they are not long after sunset as the full moon is just beginning to rise in the sky in the East.

My taste is what I’ve learned to crave,
but all that’s over in the grave.
“So, what about me would you save?”
I asked the preacher man.

He said my spirit most of all
so crippled by the early fall
and then the rest: “Hear Him call?”
It’s now my turn to speak.

Scale—Six Sentence Story

Saul’s blindness left as if a scale fell from each eye when Ananias put his hands on him. His heretical heretic hunting days were over. He now became one of the hunted.

He waited for three days after the light overpowered him and blindness set in on the Road to Damascus. While waiting he refused to eat or drink.

Saul heard the voice, felt the power to the point of blindness and from that day forward abandoned his former ways to obey no matter what the cost to himself.

Acts 9:17-18 KJV
¹⁷And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

In Motion

Dale offers the prompt “in motion” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge. The first thing I thought of were birds.

Extract—Six Sentence Story

Timothy sensed he was talking himself into a corner without knowing how to extract himself except through silence.

He was getting the philosophy all wrong. He was getting the theology all wrong. He was getting the science all wrong.

In spite of all that, he was grateful no one actually complained while he talked to himself on the beach waiting for the sun to rise. When the sun came up, on time as always, he understood that the Lord still loved him in spite of everything and that had been an lot of messed up everything, but all was well again.

Justice—Ovi Poetry Challenge

“Just do it now,” my conscience said,
“The Word awaits. He will be read.
Bear fruit.” The drying branch is dead.
When pruned it’s cast away.

Injustice is a waste of time.
For some it turns into a crime,
but He will come, remove the grime.
Don’t end up wiped away.
