Death Threat*

The older twin vowed to kill his brother, a rotten cheat and a liar. The swindling brother ran. He stayed away in faraway land for many years.

 

There, he himself became the victim of another rotten cheating liar. The swindled swindler wrestled with God and learned to trust him. He changed his ways. He returned home, though he feared for his life.

As soon as the older brother saw him, he rushed him with all his might. He grabbed him by the neck, and hugged him, and kissed him and cried.

 

When the way we live pleases God, he turns our enemies into friends. Proverbs 16:7

Just a little story space

This blog “Café com Leitura” (if you know Portuguese you get it), is just a blank space for me to write stories or post recorded told stories. Some will be good, many will be average-at-best, and some will be just a waste of space. This should be a lot of fun.
These are my planned categories, so far:

• Short Stories – Just short stories with no particular theme.
  
• Bible Stories – Stories from the Bible, pure and unbroken as they are in the Bible, but in my own words.
  
• Bible Based Stories – Composite stories put together from several Bible passages.
  
• Bible Inspired Stories – Stories that draw from scripture as inspiration, but are not Bible stories.
  
• Told Stories – Recorded Audio stories.
• Mapped Stories – Stories with a hand-drawn map to accompany.
  
• Chapters – If I ever get to writing something longer than a short story, it will be in chapter form here.
  
• Poems – I doubt I will do much of this or be good at it, but why not try?
  
• Borrowed Stories – Stories that I’ve found here or there that I liked and had permission to repost.
  
• Portuguese – Sometimes I will post a story in Portuguese.
