Hmm…no, I’m good with anything really 😅😊
Do you?
Writing is okay. I’ve had a bit of writers block, but It’s getting better. I’ve been actually writing more in a short story for school on young Abe Lincoln than anything else lol. 😊 How about you?
Life is good! My parent’s anniversary was a few days ago, that was really great. I’ve been drawing more, and my brother and Dad and I watched a Star Wars show! That was fun. How are you?

Writing’s been pretty slow, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of it. 😆 I’m currently trying to find pics for reference photos for the important side characters in one of my WIP’s! ❤️ It’s a lot of fun! 😆 Ooh, a short story on young Abe Lincoln!? Cool!!! How’s that going? 😊

Here’s what I’ve gotten so far! Enjoy! 😀
Six year old Abe took a bite of bread, a few small crumbs dropping into his lap. He started to brush them off onto the dirt floor of his home, but froze at a disapproving look from his mother. He grinned sheepishly.
Mother shook her head, smiling. Then her expression became thoughtful and she murmured softly, “Thomas should be in by now…”
She looked up. “Abe, will you go and tell Father that breakfast is ready?” Mother asked.
Abe nodded eagerly. “Yes, Mother!” He dropped his small piece of bread back on his plate, stood up, and darted out the door, calling out in his small voice, “Father, Father! Breakfast is ready!”
Father was working out in the woods near their home, and Abe knew exactly where he would be.
He shot through the forest of trees, his short little legs pumping as fast as they could. Up ahead, he could see his father, Thomas, and he yelled out once more, “Breakfast is ready, Father!” His father turned. He squinted, searching for the young boy in the brush. Then, catching sight of Abe, he smiled and waved.
“I’ll be right there! You go on back home.”
Abe smiled and shouted back, “Alright!”
He walked on his way back home, his little legs tired from darting through the woods with the agility and speed of a white tailed deer. As he exited the forest, walking into the clearing where his home stood a little ways away, he glanced toward the road and saw a company of several soldiers, walking together, slowly making their way up the road.
He stopped, watching them intently. The young boy had always enjoyed observing the many different people who walked by their home, trekking along the dusty and beaten path, when he wasn’t helping his Father or Mother with the chores around the house.
He slowly wandered over to the edge of the road, watching as they approached.
They wore faded uniforms, the tan colored material tinted even more so with the dust and dirt of the path.
Abe smiled, the gap of a missing front tooth adding to his youthful appearance.
“Hello!” He called out as soon as the men were within a few yards
They smiled kindly and echoed back, “Hello to you as well!”
Just then, Abe’s Mother came out of the house. “Abe? Abe! Where are you?” She called in the direction of the woods.
Abe grinned at the soldiers and waved goodbye, then trotted over to his mother.
* * * * *
“Mother…why must we be kind to the soldiers?” Abe asked, thinking about the men that he had greeted, reaching for a second piece of bread.
Mother’s expression became solemn. “Well, Abe…soldiers fight for our freedoms…they are the reason that we are free, so that we can read the Bible…that we can own our house…that we can be what we want to be. Abe, soldiers are the reason that we are free, and we must be grateful to them.”
Abe’s eyes were wide. “Really Mother? That is mighty kind of them.”
Mother nodded slowly. “Yes, Abe. Very kind of them. They live very hard lives, sleeping on the ground, traveling long distances with only their two feet, going without much food for long periods of time. And when they go to war, they leave their family; their little babies, their wives and children…and sometimes…they don’t come back.”
Abe’s eyes sobered. “That’s…that’s very brave…for them to do that.”
Mother smiled. “Yes…and for people they don’t even know.”
Abe frowned as he wondered how many children had fathers who were in the army…that didn’t get to call their fathers in for breakfast…that couldn’t help them cut wood and plow the fields…and some of the children fathers didn’t come back from the war.
He looked at his mother. “I shall always be good to the soldiers, always!” He declared with assurance.

Here it is!!!
1944, and the Second World War continues to rage fiercely.
Jamie, a young Jewish, American paratrooper, is preparing to jump out of a plane early in the morning for Operation Overlord. He’s been training for months and is ready to do whatever he has to for his country and his friends. An immigrant, he loves America with his whole heart. His older brother, taken by the Nazis before the family left Austria, is still out there somewhere, and Jamie is determined to find him. But as D-Day ends and the Army pushes towards Germany, a grim reality is realized, and Jamie is no longer sure if his brother is even alive. And, he wonders, how could a good God let any of this happen?
Phillip, a paratrooper chaplain, is with his men always, even jumping out of a plane with them on D-Day. He does whatever he can and is always there when his men need him. He’s been training for a while and is ready to do whatever God needs him to do. But he’s not a perfect man by any means, and he is still struggling with grief and guilt from his wife’s death years ago. And as he and his men get closer to Germany, horrible camps are discovered, and his men instantly start coming to him for answers. But Phillip doesn’t have all the answers…and they’re the same questions he’s struggled with since his wife’s death. Truly, how could a good God allow bad things to happen?
Both of their lives intertwined in both D-Day and the discovery of the Holocaust, Jamie and Phillip see and question things they never thought they would.
And they both ask questions that have no easy answers, but what they will discover is this;
Even in the darkest night,
God is still good.
Oh I’m not 🤣😆😅!
