Topic: Good and Bad (05/07/09)
Once upon a time, there was an old man named Albert. Albert was a very popular man in his neighborhood and everyone like him. The kids would all follow Albert as he walked with cane down the streets. The parents trusted him with the kids and knew he could do know harm.

However, one day there came evil into the neighborhood that was once safe. Men in dark black suites would swarm at night breaking into homes and doing all kinds of wrongs. They were definately the bad people.

The neighborhood had finally had enough of it. They began a neighborhood watch program to follow the leads. Guess who became the leader of this program Do Gooder Albert! He was tired of the violence in their neighborhood and he thought who would suspect an 80 year old man to be on the watch. All they knew is that he would be out on the stoll.

One evening as the group gathered together to pray and ask God to help them and protect them on there misson.
Albert went about the neighborhood stolling the streets and saw the black suite guys doing bad. He used his cell phone to call the cops quitely and roamed the streets watching as they traveled through the neighborhood. When the cops finally arrived they picked up Albert and he directed them to were the crime was.

The next day the article read in big things Good guys Catches Bad guys!!!
Albert made a comment to the news journalist that intervied him and ask how was he able to do this as old as he was. Albert responded. " You are only as old as you feel. I can do this because I am reminded of scripture found in Phillipians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

The reported was touched by this comment and aimed to do the same everytime he was out in a dangerous field. That if an 80 year old can do something as brave as he was then so could I. Cuase no matter what is going on the good always win against the bad in the end.

I love stories where GOOD wins over BAD! I like that the MC did not let his age get in the way of doing right and helping others! Don't forget to use your spell check and also to read your article to check for typos like "know" and "no" that the spell check may not find.

I was afraid that Albert was going to get hurt! I like him as the mc--we should all be as unafraid to stand up to "the bad guys!" Agree with Jana about the spellcheck and proofreading-
Good story.

Good story just let somebody read over your article before you post it as they can show you the errors before you post. But well done
