I John 2:12-14

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake.
I am writing to you, fathers and mothers, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men and women, because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children, because you know the Father.
I write to you, elders, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

September - October Writing Challenge

Think of something that is important to you -- a life changing experiance, a sorrow, or a great joy. Write one page, double spaced (about 250 words) about this. BUT you may only use one syllable words.

Three exceptions:
1) You may not lie, so don't say "I was born in Maine." if you were born in Michigan.
2) You may use contractions of one syllable words. So, for example, you can say "couldn't" instead of "could not."
3) You may use two syllable words if they are under 5 letters long. (i.e. into, over, upon).

(Certain one syllable words, swear words, should be avoided still.)

This writing exercise comes from a class (at Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference) taught by Susan King an editor with The Upper Room, and is used with permission.
