Another Wednesday, guys! Halfway to the end of this week.
Where the heck is March disappearing to? I feel like it should still be mid-February at this point.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Prompt Type: Build a scene
Prompt: Write a short piece about the events leading up to or occurring subsequent to passage below. Feel free to modify any gender or terminology as needed.
So I am first of all a simple country person, a refugee, and unlearned. I do not know how to provide for the future. But this I know for certain, that before I was brought low, I was like a stone lying deep in the mud. Then he who is powerful came and in his mercy pulled me out, and lifted me up and placed me on the very top of the wall. That is why I must shout aloud in return to the Lord for such great good deeds of his, here and now and forever, which the human mind cannot measure.
