For the next several weeks, I plan to post work of mine that was previously published on a different site. (The owners of the site decided to shut it down.) This flash fiction piece, "The Pool", was first published early in 2012. If the Lord wills, I will post a longer piece next week.

God bless.

The Pool

Andre held his breath as he was immersed into the water. Two days earlier, he was on his knees seeking--and finding--forgiveness. Now, he was publicly identifying with his Redeemer.

Helping Andre stand again, the minister concluded his baptism with the words, "Raised to walk in newness of life."

And, the church said, "Amen."
