"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."
"This week I have taken the Lord's name in vain.
I have coveted my neighbor's wife . . . many times.
Finally, as a politician, I have been less than truthful."

"I guess you are going to hell", came the answer.
"I am on my break."

Good stuff @henry-gant

Thank you @ablaze for reading. It is so nice to know that others are actually involved with writing projects.

Yes, there is a great little community blooming here at #fiftywords which is supported and admined brilliantly by @jayna.. It is my favorite little corner of Steemit :o)

@henry-gant you were flagged by a worthless gang of trolls, so, I gave you an upvote to counteract it! Enjoy!!

Thank you @flagfixer. I looked into this flag and it seems to be controlled by an account that gets several hundred upvotes a day by an army of downvoters, amounting to about a hundred dollars a day. Just another person gaming the system.

Is that your painting Sir? I think you should post them more often they are nice.

Yes, Beany-inhinyero, when time allows I paint. I'm happy you can see the artistic nature of this sketch.

Nice work, @henry-gant! By the way, you want to be sure to add a link to your story to the challenge post comments. That way all the challenge participants can see it and support it with comments and upvotes. 😊

Thanks, @jayna, I'll do that.

I only had a few minutes that morning. We have the Monsoon (AZ) here and it keeps tearing down my sunshade.
"We need the rain," everyone says. I give them a Pope-eye look and a little dark cloud grows over my head.

my family's having a break soon sir! :)

thanks to you!
10 long days more to go:)

They will pass in an instant . . . then you will have stories to tell.

Have fun.

Oh the fiftyword contest is back? I might try it again. Seems you like long breaks friend.

Lots of work to do Daisy . . . but I had an Idea this morning and enough time to count to fifty. I hope you try it.

I have joined some thinking of something now too. Take it easy
