The Word Re-Written

Our assignment was to re-write the parable of the ten virgins in "modern" (post-modern?) language. So fun!

Matthew 25:1-13

The Kingdom of Heaven will be like the launch of an amazing new app for IPhone. Ten friends brought their IPhones and met at a coffee house, waiting for the app to launch. As they waited, they played Angry Birds.

They played late into the night, draining batteries left and right. When the announcement was finally made--the app launch is here!--5 friends pulled out their chargers to plug in their IPhones.

"Let us borrow your cords!" the other 5 said.

"We can't share, we don't want to miss the download!"

The friends went home to get their chargers, but when they went to get the app, the window to get it for free was over. They called tech support, but were told, "Sorry, you missed the opportunity."

Therefore, keep charged, for you don't know when a free app opportunity might come along.

Writing Groups?

Thinking about writing groups. Anyone have any experience with one?

I am starting a closed group this week, something I'm calling "therapeutic writing group" or "healing writing group." Still working it out. There will just be three of us (at the mo). I am interested to see how the process works.

I have also purchased three books about writing groups. I am intrigued, and may start another one, along the lines of a creative writing group.

Something may be brewing...I'll try to keep you posted.
