Dancing During the Storm is a collection of stories from projects that I have written over the years. They represent a desire to praise God despite the storms in my life. As the saying goes, you are going into a storm, in the middle of a storm or coming out of a storm. All of these stories tell of people who enjoy the life that God has given them and live it to the fullest. Each character has a storm in their life which they are going into, in the midst of, or coming out of.
The first story is about the first man to ever encounter a storm and the impact on his life.
The second story is about a court case that changed the lives of three of the women involved. A Victim. A Juror. A Judge. The impact of the trial changed their thinking, yet prepared them for all that life threw at them.
The third and fourth story is a science fiction tale of the journey of a young woman who searched for peace and quiet after spending the last two years on a planet that had to resemble hell. As she emerged from the storms of her life, she saw that things were not as easy as she thought they would be.
The fifth story is another science fiction story that showed a divided world on the brink of war and two women meet to decide the fate of all the women on the planet. This meeting determined if it would either draw everyone together or increase the divide. Would it be treason or slavery?
The sixth story two bullets changed the life of a man who had cruised through life on the back of rich parents and affluence.
Enjoy these fun, thought provoking stories, and hear the underlying intent.
