TRUTH

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.  John 8:32."

Anne noticed Bill's gratuitous nod.  His wife, Sarah, wore thick makeup to cover a bruise, this time on her right cheek.

"What is truth?  John 18:38."  The pastor repeated Pilate's question.  Another nod, this time from Jane whom she had seen stagger from local restaurants three times in the last month, each time with a different drunken man.  Anne grieved that a few hypocrites kept people away from church.

"I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life," he quoted Jesus.

"John 14:6," Anne whispered.

This is my submission for this week's 100 Word Challenge from www.velvetverbosity.com  Two hundred words wouldn't have said all I'd like to say, but the challenge is to get across what you want to say in one hundred, so here ya go.  My trouble is I have waaaay too many words to say on anything you ask me about!  :)  I would have liked to address the never ending comments that we shouldn't be judgemental, but alas it would have taken more words because that observation isn't as biblical as people think it is.  Maybe next time the word will be something I can build on.  :)
