6 Word Stories

My fellow blogger, Marsha , published her "six word story" the other day. Her story read, "exercised hard, collapsed into a heap". Brilliant! How many times have I sat here on the couch wondering how I should word an entry into the blog. I told Marsha that I was gonna use the "6 word story" from time to time, and she referred me to this website. Apparently, it's a pretty popular thing to do.

I have thought about what my 6 Word Story would be, but I've not been able to come up with anything that I think is "good enough". Why is it that now I'm sitting here, on the couch, trying to come up with just 6 words rather than what to write in the blog!? I looked over at Rusty and asked him what his would be, and without hesitation, he came up with "I am saved! Thank you, Jesus!"

I thought long and hard about this one...
My "6 word story" is: "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Does it end?"
