It is time for Friday Fictioneers. The challenge where about 100 authors write 100 stories from one photo prompt using 100 words apiece. Find all the stories HERE.

Here is my bit:

Where Curses Come From

by JE Lillie

The wilderness is a curse.

We grumbled as we left Elim.

God sent the manna and the quail.

We quarreled at Rephidim.

God gave us water from the rock.

We trembled at Mt. Sinai.

God gave us commandments.

We shrank back at Kadesh

God gave us forty years hard time in the wilderness.

We rebelled with Korah

God judged us.

Perhaps it is not the wilderness.

You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst. Psalm 69:19-21

Name a time verse 21 makes you think of.

You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst. Psalm 69:19-21

How are scorn and helplessness connected in this Psalm?

Share Your World June 11, 2018

Sharing our worlds is what blogging is all about. I love that Cee at Cee’s photography gives each of us an opportunity to share our bit of our little corners of this swiftly spinning sphere.

 

Click that paragraph to go over and share a bit of your life with Cee.

Here are Cee’s sharing questions for the week and my answers:
If you could choose any person from history to be your imaginary friend, who would it be and why?

I would choose Francis Of Assisi to be my imaginary friend because he has such an interesting soul. His legacy is so tough and tender.

60s, 70s, 80s, 90s: Which decade do you love the most and why? 

I think I would have to say the 70’s because the TV was so cheesy and awesome. It was the time when my imagination was forged in fires of innocence.

When you die, what do you want to be remembered for?

My faith, my hope, my love, my wisdom and my patience.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I really enjoyed attending my daughter’s baby shower. That’s right! I am going to be a Grampa. But I will not be called “Grampa”. I shall be “Oz”!
