Sarah was sitting in the front pew resplendent in yellow and blue. Her mother had dressed her in a new beautiful dress. They sat in the front in anticipation of Father Bishop asking a child what he or she learned that Sunday after sermon.
The church was hot and muggy and Sarah was getting restless. Sarah’s mother tried to keep her engaged as the sermon was finally coming to an end. As Father Bishop stepped away from the alter, he spotted young Sarah.
Sarah’s mother perked up and sat straighter in her pew. Adjusting her hat and prodding Sarah to sit straighter, Father Bishop approached while wrapping up his sermon. Microphone in hand he came to Sarah and asked what she thought of the sermon. Occasionally he would uncover a gem of wisdom when it came from a child.
Sarah was bashful and it appeared she would need a little prompting. “What’s your name young lady?” he asked. “I’m Sarah” she responded looking at her black shoes. “Well Sarah, do you and your parents talk about coming to church?” She looked at her mom and she smiled encouragingly at her.
“Yes, they talk about it all the time” she finally answered. Feeling that he made a good choice in picking her, he ventured further. “Well can you tell me what they talked about in preparation for mass today?”
“Well mom and dad were in a hurry this morning, Dad told Mom thank you for the quickie before mass.” Father Bishop flushed, and Sarah’s mother looked like she was about to pass out. He tried to rescue the situation, so he asked “Tell me about your wonderful dress!” “Well Mom says it’s a bitch to iron, and that the old bastard better notice this time.”
Sarah looked so pleased with herself, as her mother sank as low as the pew would allow. It was a very long service after that.

You can also put an entry in the body of this entry and then write “for more visit…”
You’ll at least have more luck if you give a better description of what people can expect from your writing. Consider describing your themes or inspiration.

Thanks for the reply Fausto. This is what I should have put originally:
“Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”
Funny how I can write with ease on most subjects or situations, but the dreaded “About Me” or “Description” section just shuts down The Random Scribbler. Word Tosser was my second choice but it had either violent undertones or highly prurient suggestions about my personal private habits (won’t go there). So I hereby dub this blog “The Random Scribbler”. So please read my random scribbles and feel free to tell me how great it was or how badly it sucked. Hope this has piqued your interest…
Hi there Tim- I took a liberty of posting an example of what I recommend people do. We WANT you to share you stuff here! The best stuff (reaches a certain level of comments and traffic) gets posted on the front of the site.
Right now we’re in beta ironing out all the bugs, but please don’t hesitate to contact us directly and let me know how we can help introduce your writing to others on the site.
I simply love you guys. Thank you for the encouragement and support. That was very generous of you to post my latest short story. Thank you for your time and effort to help me promote my blog.
