The Shed out Back-1.2

     The last thing you want to do is hide someone running from the government. Even worse, a priest hiding from the Mexican police. And yet, we go to the Fellows family who has done such a thing. Mr. and Mrs. Fellow's daughter, Coral, has taken in this fugitive priest without her parents' knowledge. She has taken the liberty of hiding this man in the family's barn. If only she understood the risks she has taken and the danger she has put her whole family in. Her intentions may have been right, but you cannot do what may be right without being willing to take full responsibility for your actions. The poor child, she has no idea what she has done. She trusted her father and told him about the visitor in the barn. Unfortunately, Captain Fellows did not approve of the visitor and was quite unhappy about his daughter's decision. And yet, he does not want this stranger to walk out into the danger of the country during the day, but to wait until night. Either Captain Fellows is concerned about this man's well being or not has yet to be revealed. As we look to this priest we can only wonder where he is headed and where he came from.
   Who is this priest and what is happening to him and other priests all over Mexico? Many, of the priests have either gone into hiding and are constantly fleeing from the police, or have been shot for refusing to go against their beliefs. One priest, actually chose a third option. He chose to get married and live his life as a normal person. But, he is known all over the country because of his decision.
    Our decisions effect our lives. Even the teeny tiny decisions we make without thinking much about them. We all have to make choices and we have to live with the outcomes of the choices we make. Next time you go to do something, think about what the outcome will be and if it what you are going to do is really worth doing.
Good bye reader and never stop exploring.

  1. I like this. It is very true that our decisions affect our lives. Every single thing we do, physically or mentally, consciously or unconsciously, shapes our mind and mental processes, therefore affecting future decisions, thoughts, actions, intents, etc. Thinking about things before they happen is crucial to self control, and this is obviously something that Coral does not understand quite yet at her age, regardless of forced maturity.

  2. Another good post. Make sure you give specific details (the third priest).
