The Path to White Tank County Cemetery
Christian Article

Life
Fiction: True
The Arizona sun peeked shyly through the silvery white clouds framed between the mountain peaks. Sheriff Joe's teenage chain gang trudged along the path to the White Tank County Cemetery, their leg irons rudely interrupting the pre-dawn silence. Every Thursday, their job was to bury the dead indigent and homeless who hoad died during the past week. The Sheriff reckoned this burial detail to be in

Overcoming Struggles
Fiction: False
This isn’t a pretty story with a fairy tale ending, because chemical dependency is never glamorous or fulfilling.
Thirty-five years ago, I put myself into treatment for alcoholism, because I hated the life I lived. I’ve been an alcoholic most of my life, but have been in recovery since 1969.
I stayed in treatment for three months, and then left against medical advice with a male patient. My

Relationships
Fiction: False
When I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior a few years ago, I developed a friendship with a woman who became my mentor. Sara taught me how to read the bible, and how to apply it to my life.

Life
Fiction: False
I've often wondered what happens to my socks when I put them in the washing machine to be laundered. They blissfully swirl around in their soapy water for fifteen minutes, and then spend the rest of the cycle getting spun. The next step is the one that puzzles me.
I put them in the dryer, but alas, one of my sockies is missing! Where has it gone? Have I put both of them in the washing machine?

Healing
Fiction: False
Itchy sores appeared on my hands, and I got eczema on my arms and legs. I felt like creepy things were digging into my skin like our Arizona scorpions dig into the sand. The itching was more than I could take, and it occupied my mind twenty-four hours a day. This all happened two months after I invited Jesus into my heart, in 2001.
Everyone had explanations as to why I was attacked with this ma

Forgiveness
Fiction: False
"Get them apples peeled, and rhubarb cut, now!” Ma yelled. "Them pies have to be baked by dinner time."
Peeling apples made my fingers look brown, and feel puckered. I didn’t like doing it.
Ma continued her tirade with my sisters.” Carol, you go out and pick peas, and get a lot of them. Del, you clean up the living room."
"Ma, they won't be going in the living room," Del protested.

Relationships
Fiction: True
Ronnie sat down on the hard bench with a thump. It was their favorite booth at the Cracker Barrel. Larry look at his wife, Veronica, now heavy with child. He didn’t want children; they complicated lives.
"Ronnie, to what do I owe the pleasure? You’re usually not out of bed until noon." He looked at her swollen body with keen distaste.
Ronnie said, "I knew you’d be on your break, and thought
