Rewrite a major story in the Gospels from the first person perspective of a minor character inthat story. Take time, be alone, and imagine what you would have thoguth and felt if you were a Jew in the crowd when the woman was caught in adultery and Jesus interceded or if you were a servant in the upper room at the Last Supper or if you were one of the Apostles with Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane.
Hey, my name is Peter, I was called by Jesus to be his disciple. I have a really cool story to tell you about my trip to a very high mountain with James and John. I thought it was amazing and I couldn’t believe I actually saw Moses and Elijah. Well, here goes nothing...
You better watch yourself John, kicking all that dirt up when you walk; I am getting tired of walking up this rocky mountain. What are we doing up here anyway James, why did Jesus tell us to come with him to the top of a mountain? I am going to ask Jesus what’s up. Do you think I should see what’s happening? You don’t? I know I shouldn’t question Jesus’ will but my feet are getting awfully tired. Do you think Jesus is going to leave us up here? Are you sure this is the right way? Hey what’s all that light coming from the top of the mountain? Hurry up John; I don’t want to miss anything. Oh my gosh! It’s Elijah and Moses. What’s good Elijah? What you doing Moses? How’d you get up here anyway? James give me your sunglasses, I am going blind. Hey Moses, I like that white cloth, where’d you get it, Sean John? And Elijah, man you are rocking those pants, I love that color. Yo Jesus, should I make 3 tents? You know one from you, Moses, and Elijah. All this noise is killing my ears. James, John shut up! Who is that? It’s God, sorry God! Man I love this, keep talking, telling me what I need to do! Wait up Moses, I didn’t get your autograph. Elijah how am I ever going to tell my friends I saw you? They’re never going to believe me. Please stop! Dang it, now it’s all quiet and peaceful. I am lonely. Well, Jesus is still up here. Hey Jesus, that was tight! Can we come back sometime?
