Why?
They said that it was too good, so they thought my Mom wrote it for me. They decided that I wan't smart enough to do it alone.
Who won?
They gave the first place award to a mentally ill man! The last time I saw him, he was wondering the downtown area talking to the air and yelling at people.
I had studied hard for that contest, and was so hurt it was years before I stepped in the pulpit again.
Was It God's Fault?
No!
Was it a trick of the Devil?
No!
Was it my fault?
No!
It was a person with poor judgment, a person who apologized many years later.
Life is full of difficult times, we just need to deal with it.
