Well it is time for another dose of Friday Fictioneers with Rochelle at http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/16-august-2013/. The challenge is to write a 100 word piece of fiction with a beginning, middle and end. Let me encourage you to take the challenge for yourself!

Reaping the Whirlwind
Momma used to sing me a lullaby… “If God is for you, sweet baby child, who can stand against you?”
I always liked that, thought; But what if God is against you ?
I knew joining Billy’s “business” was not wise but my honey-tongued friend can make murder sound friendly. Besides , the street was deserted. The keys were in the ignition. I was gone in under thirty seconds.
A block down the road God blew on the tree.
When the police arrived I just admitted “Momma always told me, ‘If you sow to the wind, you’ll reap the whirlwind’.”

I wish God would intercede more the way he does in your story. Or this could just be viewed as bad karma! Ron
Thanks for this Ron. I have known people who have had such tragic intercessions. It’s funny how many of them look on them as blessings.
Heart-warming! 🙂 Nice take on the prompt.
Thanks Sandra.
I’m just glad your character survived. Well told story!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!
I like it. Good job.
Thank you!
Dear Joe,
I believe the Almighty intercedes in ways that seem horrid only to protect us from much worse. Your story beautifullly illustrates this.
shalom,
Rochelle
I believe you are exactly right Rochelle. Having been spared from true darkness while walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death a few times myself I know His ways are difficult but good.
Good perspective on this.
Thanks Patti!
…my honey-tongued friend can make murder sound friendly… Love this. And there are many of these honey-tongued demons about, speaking evil oh, so sweetly. Ann
Very true. We must guard our souls against them.
I am still learning this! Ann
Me too. 🙂
Nice one!
Thanks Dawn!
I wanted to view your stories and check out your blog. This is a great story. I loved it. I think God always has things in control and knows our heart. There is always forgiveness in all we do and even though this is a fictional story, there is a lot of real truth to it. Thanks, too for visiting my site and reading and commenting on my ‘mouse’ story.
Thanks Joyce!
