Surprise

He’s bigger than me.
Much bigger.
He’s a better fighter too.
He’s had a zillion scraps and never lost.
Well, obviously, ‘cos he’s not dead.
All I have is the element of surprise.
And a wee bit rope.
And a stone.
I shout at him.
Hey, Goliath!

    Yesss. David defeating Goliath will always be a classic. And it’s a template to defeating impossibilities in our lives.
    Thank you!

    Armed with faith and some stones, David won the day. Fun retelling of a favorite.
