Writing Prompt #352: Bad Date

Two people set out to have fun and have a terrible, terrible time.

So how is the outcome positive? >:)

While I've never gone on a date, I did get lost in a parking lot at night in a thunderstorm for an hour with an awesome friend and get soft drink thrown on me by a couple of whack jobs as they sped past.

I think it turned out pretty well. Your turn.

Writing Prompt #351: Definition of Friendship

Recently in a conversation that left me fighting tears and gripping the will to live, I said that a friend was someone who has seen you fail, seen you weak and stupid, seen you be wrong, but still thinks you're worth more than your mistakes.

I'm challenging you to write about a character lifting someone up after they've been stupid. Write about treating someone more valuable than their trouble.

I hope you have people in your life who see the value of you, who dream the best for you when you're at your worst. I hope you have people who see you like Jesus does. I'm glad I do.

Writing Prompt #350: Thanks for the Stones

It's the kind of day where I stub my toe and I'm grateful for the pain just because it distracts me.

Someone is thankful for something unpleasant. Why?

I hope your day is better than mine. But whether or not that is the case, I hope your day draws strength and comfort from the same direction mine has. Peace to you.
