Fixed! This is great, Derek! I've got my own take on this prompt stewing, but I've got some things in the hopper before I get to it. Wonderful. Even though I knew the punchline you managed to still give it weight and impact. Well done!

Really touching. Anger that disguises sadness always gets me

Me too. Mostly because I do believe most anger is nothing more than unchecked sadness and loneliness.

Thanks for reading!

Great portrayal of the life of an ambassador for Christ. Bold & confident, yet empathetic and compassionate.

Lord, lead us daily to the places where you are at work and to the souls in which you are working.

"Matthew, you’re right. There’s cruelty in this world, but there is life beyond suffering. Not through slaughter, but by the violence of good words. Don’t make the world even worse.” I love when fiction hits me square in the eyes.
