“COULD YOU WRITE A GRIPPING TALE USING EXACTLY 100 WORDS?”
I am reading that question in the September 2012 Reader’s Digest.
And this is how the paragraph continues: “Enter our competition and you could win $1000 and have your story published in Reader’s Digest.”
This is my answer to the above question:
I have written a story using exactly 100 words, but I don’t know if people think that it is a gripping tale.
And I will enter the competition. I realise also that the story should be original and unpublished.
“For you
Philippians 1:29
Intr.:
have been given
I. not only the privilege of trusting in Christ
The conversion of the apostle Paul is referred to in the BIBLE four times, namely in:
1. Acts 9:1-19
2. Acts 22:3-21
3. Acts 26:2-23
4. Galatians 1:11-17
II. but also the privilege of suffering for him.”
In Second Corinthians 11:16-33 we are reading about the
sufferings of Paul.
1. “I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers.
2. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles.
3. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas.
4. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers, but are not.
