Because it’s Friday!
Around here we write for five minutes flat on Fridays.
We write because we want to, not because we have to. We write for fun, for joy, for discovery.
Today’s prompt — Real
start with questions:
Is what I imagine about my life real?
Am I looking in the window at a play scene?
Do I think what is in my head is real life?
What is real?
What is make believe?
How can I tell the difference?
Which one do I really want to choose?
Is one better than the other?
Do I really want to know?
Foolish, Foolish questions.
I check my guidebook —
and I find
Thomas had questions and doubts, too.
Our Christ gently told him — touch what is real and believe……..
Christ tells me — believe in me and ye shall have real life…….
(paraphrasing mine )
No more questions.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Thoughts of Grace 
Wow. I hadn’t thought of that conversation between Jesus and Thomas in a while. How appropriate to bring it into this conversation we are having today about “real.” Jesus is real. His scars are real. And the redemption He offers is real too.
Beautiful post.
