"Prompt: Use these words in your entry: moonlight, offend, small, strawberry, yank, unwieldy, car, attack. "

My mom always loved it when in May I would get paid and take her to a nearby farm to pick all the strawberries she wanted. She would make strawberry jam, strawberry shortcakes, and a ton of other goodies from them. Sometimes we would practically pick the strawberries by moonlight. It was a bit unwieldy to do so but it was even more unwieldy to pick in the hot sun. We would attack the field before dawn. We had to be very careful not to attack the copperheads who liked to curl under the plants for warmth! I nearly had a heart attack when somebody yanked one out from under a strawberry plant. They killed it. We would pick several gallons, load the car, and go home for a strawberry treat! It would never offend!

“Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.” -E. Cossman Your thoughts?"

As a Christian I would have to agree with both of them. Obstacles are things that occur when we take our eyes off Jesus. The main goal of a Christian is to serve God and make the world a better place. We do this by having a positive attitude and keeping our eye on the goal.
