telling lies in church

by Shonda Chrissonberry

The word tonight was:
faithful

With all the activities over,
we dismissed with a prayer.

Sonja came over and gave me a hug.

She said, "I am so glad you came back
tonight." Then she just smiled,
gave me another hug and said "But of
course you did ~ you are faithful,
always faithful."

I just shook my head and replied,
"If you only knew."

nice write, leaves me guessing... but that seems to be the point... this piece makes me think of why i left church, and ponder what i have faith in anymore.
