[Essay] Book of Josh

Written on 28 Feb 2005.

1 Joshua was the talk of the town. Everybody was talkin’ about Josh.

2 When Mark did it, nobody understood. He was the oldest of the bunch, and some said he had secrets.

3 Matthew was strong in his Jewish faith. Luke had a thing for rejection. They both hung around Mark, repeating whatever he said.

4 John was obsessed with nobility. He was standoffish, and the other three thought he was kinda full of himself.

5 Peter didn’t like Jewish people. Nobody talked to Pete, but some listened.

6 Thomas liked puzzles and word games. He went around with this wierd smile on his face, like he knew something nobody else did. 7 Mark caught Tom whispering to Matt and Luke a few times.

8 People liked to read whatever Paul wrote, far and wide. He liked to write. Everybody who hadn’t heard any of the others read him religiously. 9 But he never really talked to those other guys. He wanted to, but he wasn’t in their club yet.

10 Everybody was talkin’ about Josh. Who listened?
