Dovetail

by Karen McQuestion

like a very small, uneventful life. I guess in a way it has been. Honestly, I had planned for more. I was going to travel the world and have big adventures. So much for that.

I think when young we all think our life will be different. We all believe we’ll travel the world and have great adventures…

One night, while lying in bed, I realized that I’d broken each of the Ten Commandments at least once. It was a horrifying thought, made all the worse by realizing there’s nothing that can be done about it.

find myself praying every day, something I never did much of before. Fear is what drives me. I don’t want to go to hell, if there even is such a place. And I know I’m not a shoo-in for heaven; this worries me.
