Christians and Kais: An Average Visit From my Introverted Friend

Sam Hershey

Submitted to Contest #104

WARNING: Slight Spoiler for a Season 3 Episode of Cobra Kai When it comes to being friends, Dusty and I are an interesting match, and it is not because my house is two floors not counting an attic or basement and his is a 4 room apartment. It is also not the fact that he is a localized technophobe, as in he is a technophobe when it comes to technology past the VERY early 2000s. One time for example I actually had to go on Amazon to find him Gamecube controllers because his broke and he under NO CURCUMSTANCES will upgrade the console to eve...

A McMaster Thanksgiving

Sam Hershey

Submitted to Contest #69

BEEP BEEP BEEP the microwave alarm sounded as the shower in the bathroom turned off, Angelo McMaster, famous preacher, walked out and dried himself off quickly. The microwave beeped again and he really wished it wouldn’t beep every few seconds as he got dressed and then opened up his laptop. Standing back up he crossed the large hotel room and headed over to the kitchenette where he opened the microwave door and took out his plate. Yes, he thought to himself, he could have easily used the stove, or the single burner cook top he had...

Submitted to Contest #68

  It had been twenty-four years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. This was the first thing that came across Bertha’s mind as she saw her destination from the deck of the Primrose cruise ship while sipping her Mojito. It was almost as if the cruise ship had traveled back in time to return her to the lovely island of Isla de Tardoba so it would be just like the last time she was here when she was six. Bertha smiled, as even back them the island sort of had a charm she could not ignore and she had s...

Sam Hershey

Submitted to Contest #67

Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude. Luke 22:3-22:6 The campfire we had surrounded that once roared is nothing but burning embers, and the rest of this band of people I have traveled with along with the Pesos Gang have long called it a night and are in ...

Root Beer and Memories

Sam Hershey

Submitted to Contest #66

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 At times like this when I am alone, just me and my thoughts, with nothing to really focus on, and I can slow down, I like to think back, to ponder and to think about where I have been. Yes I remember what Isaiah 43:18-43:9 tell me, I do not consider it hypocritical though, because the people who this verse...
