But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.<br /> -1 Peter 3:15

I decided to give something new a try
Oh its easy said she, but that was a lie
It was supposed to be comical, whimsical and fun
But has proved so difficult that I wish to be done!
Yes! I exclaim as I finish this line, well. . . good bye!

Once again, I experience, writers block, so I pulled up the handy-dandy Imagination Prompt Generator! And one of the many prompts it gave was. . . to write a limerick! I wasn't exactly sure of the rules so I looked them up, and decided to do a traditional 5 line one, and I get to the paper, and have no idea what to write, so I decide, why not write about writing this limerick, so there you have it, my first limerick!

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
