Don’t Be A Hirpler

Hirpler? What the heck does hirpler mean? Let’s see… Jacob, alone in the camp. Out of the dark, a Man, an Angel of God, appears. He touches Jacob’s hip, wrenching it out of its socket. Jacob is now a hirpler: a limper. Dawn arises on the two, still locked in

Don’t Let the Lion Knock You Down!

By Lynn Mosher – “And there came a lion.” (1 Sam. 17:34 KJV) Sneaking. Craftily. Slithering through the underbrush, like a fat snake. Gingerly touching his paws to the tall, dry grasses. His movements, almost imperceptible, as if in extreme slow motion. So as not to make his prey aware
