How To Get There From Here—Six Sentence Story
Sam knew he couldn’t get there from here, at least not on his own smarts, but he agreed to go.
The still small voice told him to move to Colorado, then Florida and then Maine. Although those moves made no sense, he moved anyway, since he knew he didn’t have the smarts to know what to do next. At every turn he took the time to listen and then do what the voice told him to do.
One day Sam was overwhelmed with joy to realize that he and the still small voice had been living, seemingly for years, in a wonderful dwelling paneled with righteousness and furnished with goodness and mercy.
The still small voice said, “I told you we’d get here when you agreed to go with Me.”

Do That To Me—Six Sentence Story
Tim didn’t know the minister, Daniel, nor most of the other people at the small church gathering in his neighbor’s home. He was surprised when a young woman collapsed to her knees in tears and then lay on the floor as Daniel spoke words of blessing over her.
When Daniel asked Tim to tell them how he first met Jesus, he wasn’t sure how that happened, but knowing it must have, he stood, held Daniel’s hands and began telling his story, a type of incoherent, shaky narrative that went from repentance to repentance to finally moving next door to them. While speaking he thought to himself that he so wished his testimony were better.
The next thing Tim knew he was looking up at Daniel apparently from having fallen over backwards to the floor caught on the way down by a man standing behind him, just in case.
An older woman who had attended many of these meetings rushed to Daniel saying Do that to me! even though, or maybe, because, both she and Daniel knew he wasn’t the One who made Tim fall like that.
