I recently had an idea for a biblical story and would like to see how many people might be interested. So here's a sneak peek at what the story might be.
She had been on the day for three days, most of the water was gone and the only food to be found was what could be scavenged from the plants at the side of the road. She know that she needed rest, but the fear of what she was running from overwhelmed her. That was until a sharp cry pierced the air.
"Sadye! Eleazar cut his foot!" Reva cried. Sadye scanned the area but no one appeared to be on the road. She raced to her siblings, and scooped Eleazar into her arms and man handling him onto her back.
"Reva, go find some water. I'm going to be at the top of the hill by the boulder." She instructed. Reva nodded and she hurried off to find more water. Sadye sighed and continued up the hill with the little boy on her back. They weren't even at the top of the hill when Reva caught up to them with their full water skins. As they settled against the boulder to rest and so Sadye could clean Eleazar's foot, thesound of a large number of people filled the air around them.
"HIDE!" Sadye hissed. The young children did as told and wedged themselves into the cool darkness that the boulder created as Sadye hid in the shrubs along the side of the road. Soon the group came into her view. There were at least twenty people, most of them being men. The man leading them paused at the top of the hill.
"Children, why do you hide?"
