That's great, Bill!  Congratulations!

Holy, moly, Randy!  Two of them!  That's fabulous news.  When will you know the results????  So happy for you.  Well-deserved, too!

Aw, I definitely understand that line of thinking.  I've gone back to the drawing board with so many of mine.  Sometimes just walking away from it for a long period of time and working on something else helps.  I've gone back to things I started 10 or 12 years before.  I'd read what I wrote and cringe!  Then I'd have a whole new perspective on it.  Not suggesting you wait 10 or 12 years, but sometimes putting it down for a while helps.  Write something else, then come back to it.  Get your psychic distance.  It doesn't have to be something as daunting as a novel.  Maybe a few short stories.  Just a suggestion.

I sincerely hope you don't leave the site.  I love your story.  Sorry I'm behind on reading it, but I am also behind on several others on here that I want to get to.  Life gets in my way!

Hugs to you,
MJ

Hope all goes well, Bill.  You'll be as good as new with one good eye by the following day.  They'll probably do the other one in a couple of weeks.  At least that's how they do it around here.  Hurry back.  We will miss you!

Cheers,
MJ

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all from all the critters and myself here at the funny farm in Georgia!  We wish you great joy and happiness.

Happy trails to all,
MJ

OR, you could just get rid of all the pronouns and please everybody and make it more modern:

Father, I come in Jesus’s name. I'm a sinful man, not worthy of grace. I beg for it nonetheless. I've failed many times. But no more.” Romano tried to ignore the agonizing knot in his stomach. “From now on I will bear my cross with joy.  Please strengthen my resolve. I so long to feel the Holy Spirit stir within me—”

~~~
Connor crossed himself. “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. … Father, just as Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, was lifted into Heaven, lift this curse from Alessandro. Hear me, Father, and show us mercy, just as Jesus showed mercy to the lame, the sick, the blind, the possessed, even the dead. Remove this cup from Alessandro. Yet, not my will be done. Amen.”

~~~
Food for thought.

Congrats all!  Well done!  The competition was brutal this year.  Many good entries and a lot of fun.

My fav is "Leaving On Your Mind."   Guess I'm a few years late answering this question, huh?  Lol!

LOL!  This grandma really almost got run over by a reindeer in her own driveway!

Because my farm is an animal sanctuary, we have all kinds of wild animals who feel safe here, too, including deer.  Approximately 40 of them hang out in our front hay field which borders our half-a-mile long driveway.  I use a golf cart for going to the mailbox.  Since it gets dark now by 5:30, sometimes it's pitch black when I collect the mail.  Our rural mail carrier doesn't deliver until after 4 p.m. 

The other day it was well past dark when I ventured out that way.  Apparently the deer thought my golf cart was Public Enemy Number One, so they decided to head to the woods on the opposite side of the driveway.  One of them almost jumped over the top of the golf cart.  That song about 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer' came to mind as I watched them fly past me.

I am in more danger in my own driveway than I am on the roads around here!

Merry Christmas to you, too, JP!

Oh, I just checked mine and it's showing the same thing.  Not my work.

Gross me to the max!
