come from the Bible. I have taken a
little known man, Omnesimus, and formed class=GramE>a uplifting, high moral story.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He is only heard of in the new
testament books of Philemon and Colossions.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> The Apostle Paul, who wrote class=GramE>Philemon sent this
letter to Philemon to help him show mercy to this run-away slave.
This is a story that the young
will enjoy! It has excitement, drama and
love but without language that would offend anyone.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I have gleamed information from encyclopedias
and from the Internet concerning the area in which this story takes place,
gaining information about the climate, agriculture and terrain of the land,
trying to make the storys setting accurate while still folding a fictitious
story around the main character. I have
also talked to a person who has lived in the area my story takes place, and
gained information here too.
The first few pages start with class=SpellE>Omnes childhood in what is now Turkey.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Then as a strong, husky youth he is taken by
raiders. He is treated, harshly, as a
slave and for several months lives in the filthy camps
of those who stole him. Here he is
befriended by another slave, a lad about his own age, who tells him about the
God in Heaven. This boy tells class=SpellE>Omne that the gods of silver and wood are worthless!
After many months class=SpellE>Omne is taken away from this camp and sold as a slave to a
man who treats his slaves well. This man
had been visited by one of the men who help Paul and he believed in Christ
too! One day while Omne
is working his team of oxen in a field near the river, he rescues his masters
young son from drowning. This feat he
did even though he had never learned to swim and this act nearly takes the life
of this helpful slave. As a reward for
the valiant act Omne is given Martha, a most lovely
and sweet young lady, for his wife.
With the passing of time children
are born into this couples
home. Omne
and his family are treated almost like children of the masters household.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Omne is respected
by his master and the other slaves whom he is now boss over.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> All goes well until Omnes
eldest son dies and Omne cant accept his death.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He grows very despondent, and blames God for
his sons death. Feeling that all hope
is gone he steals from his master and leaves his beloved wife and children.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He tries to run away from God but in the
process finds that God is ever with him even through 2 robberies and beatings
that nearly kill him while traveling clear to Rome.
In Rome
he meets Paul, who along with Luke and several others applies soothing balm to
his battered body and coaxes life back into his body once again.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> At last Omne is
able to forget the past, accept his LORD again and full of hope and love
returns to his family and to his master.
Paul wrote a letter and sent it with Tychicus,
one of his trusted workers, to be given to Omnes
master. The two men then return to Omnes
master. Though willing to forgive his
slave Philemon still puts him through 90 grueling days of hard labor before
once again taking him back as a trusted slave; but not really as a slave but as
a son! The freedom he has longed for so
much for so long is finally his!
The author first did some writing
when he helped with his school paper in high school. But it was only years later when failing
eyesight caused him to retire early that he thought of writing.
He took a course from Hadley
School for the Blind in Creative
writing.
After buying his first computer
his writing became easier and his short stories keep
encouraging others. Some of
these were written just because someone asked for a certain story.
Today he and his wife, Dorothy
live just out of Walla Walla,
WA where he continues
to raise chickens and to grow a large garden.
