DROP  OUT

[Luke 15: 11-32
The Story of the
Prodigal Son]


Looking back now, 
it was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

But back then,
it was a disaster.
Didn’t you ever fall on your face?

Wandering the streets
alone … puzzled …
rejected … a drop out.

Then the decision
to get out of the Pig Pen
and go back home ….

It was a selfish move.
It was a survival move.
It was a smart move.

My brother …. now he has
another story. Some day I hope
he’ll make my move to come home.
