“In your first act put your hero up a tree. In the second act throw rocks at him. Finally in the third gracefully bring him down.” Harry B. Smith

So, I am writing this story in response to a challenge by Janis Cox to write a biblical story each day over six days to create a bible study and writing habit.

Ok, I have put myself up a tree by accepting Janis’s challenge.

Now I am going to start throwing rocks at myself. Sounds difficult doesn’t it but is it all that much different than “shooting yourself in the foot” or “kicking yourself in the butt?”

Here goes! You don’t have time to write stories, Tom! Ka-chunk!

Write with pen and paper? Who does that? Tom, you can’t even read your own handwriting! Ka-chunk! Ka-chunk!

Use God’s Word for inspiration! Open your Bible app and pick the Word that inspires you…
