Wanted Here – Ch.51 | KT OLLA

PETER left the company of his team and sought a lonely spot behind flower hedges to ponder.

Everything came crashing down low as fast as a ruin can be.

The courage, the confidence, the effort put into life and psychomicide…

Everything definite lost its footing.

The man decided to call Carl, his friend and client. He wanted to share the news with him and have the trouble halved.

So he called his childhood friend and shared the pain. Yet the man was the only one troubled; Carl didn’t pretend to be.

“That is fine, Peter. You already know Cannon – that’s how they do. So don’t let ’em ruin your birthday, man!

“We’re still winning, regardless. We beat them in court today, remember?

“Look, today is your special day. You’re the one who has a birthday here, not Cannon University!

“So cheer up, 33-year-old son of Pedro!”

Those words soothed the lonely young man. And again, it sent him reflecting on everything.

Peter thought about it and read Carl’s attitude. It was as if they were fighting different battles.

Again, it was as though the bioengineer had sheathed his sword and left the warfront. As though Peter was the only one still fighting.

Now it hurt the man to the marrow that he was all alone. So he sunk his head low and shed the tears.

Peter wasn’t used to losing cases. He had been winning ever since he joined Pendulum.

But there was the psychomicide case. And in 2 years of it, he had lost a lot of arguments than all the debate he’d ever had with people. 

So he felt quite frustrated and wondered if the failure would ever end. 

Yes, Peter Pedro felt somehow worthless. He felt quite used; and he so wanted something. Something that could pull him out of the low state of mess.

Then, in that desperate moment, he recalled Marcuz’s words. The conversation that went between them both.

“We don’t need to be Christ’s sheep anymore!” Peter had said. “What can be worse than what has happened?”

“So much sir,” the dude had replied. “So much can be worse!

“You will lose the suit like you’re already doing. Then Cannon will sue Mr. and Mrs. Martinez.

“And at almost the same time, they will sue Pendulum.

“They don’t intend to win the case. They will just ensure you’re troubled enough for others to learn from you.

“They will make a scape goat of you!”

Peter recalled the words then and found it true.

He was quickly becoming scared of a lot of things. He was getting scared of the morrow, the things that lay ahead in time.

He was afraid of the future.

But then he recalled these words of hope. It was Marcuz’s words:

You should become Christ’s sheep who rely completely on the Shepherd. Then you can have the Shepherd fight the wolves for you!

That moment it dawned on the man that he’d got a Way he left untaken. So Peter dearly wanted to chart this new Way.

So, the young man bowed where he sat in the lawn at the forensic ministry. There he poured out his heart to Jesus.

He sobbed: “Why was I this proud, this full of myself? That I refused You when You called out to me?

“How could I think myself smart enough to handle tomorrow, when I can’t even tell what will happen tonight?

“Ah I am very sorry, Jesus! Please if you still can, will you make a small place for me in Your flock?

“I’ll be Your sheep, and follow Your lead – just tell me how to!

“I can’t handle the big names on my own, please fight this war for me? I’ll be Your sheep, please protect me in this life.

“Please defend me, Jesus Christ… please!”

Peter Pedro cried as he prayed; then he got up, feeling better.

Somehow the lawyer knew that what he felt was more than the relief which shedding a tear could avail him. Still he couldn’t explain the new feeling.

He was just certain of one thing. That the soul that bowed and cried wasn’t the same as him who got up again.

He was different. He had changed. But he couldn’t explain it.

Maybe this is what it feels like to hand over to Jesus, he mused.

It feels like peace. Like I’ve won already!

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
