    About this ebook

    Exerpt from story in Part 3

    You grabbed the two stone tablets (see “Cheesy Picture”) with the pictures etched into them and ran out of the room to see if they fit someplace on the stone pillars. You thought it was kinda strange that there would be a picture of a cartoon bear in this ancient place, but this is Ron’s story and I guess he can do whatever his twisted mind can think of.

    You ran over to the next pillar and set one of the pictures on top. You waited . . . And waited. . . but nothing happened. “Oh man, this isn’t working.” you said. You walked around the pillar looking for something else that might work. On the back of the pillar towards the bottom was a rectangular hole that looked to be just about the same size as the stone tablets. You grabbed the tablet with the bear on it and tried to fit it in the hole. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It didn’t fit. But don’t panic, I have one more chance on this thing. Grabbing the next picture, you stuffed it into the hole. SUH-WEET!! A perfect fit. As soon as the picture was seated completely, a black cube-looking stone rose from the center of the top of the pillar. You stared at the cube for a while trying to figure out how this thing was going to get you out of your tomb.

    You had one more tablet left. You went to the last pillar in the circle. You looked for another one of those rectangular places to put this tablet like the last one, but there were none that you could see. “Dude!! Where am I supposed to put this one?” You stood up and looked at the top of the pillar, hoping to find something.

    There was a lot of dust on the top of this pillar, so you started wiping the dust off. As you wiped the dust off, you noticed that there was a rectangular indent in the top, sort of like the slots in a toaster. “Maybe this is it. Maybe the stone tablet will fit in the slot.” You tried it. The first try didn’t work. So you flipped it around and tried it again. This time it fit just right. As soon as you put it in the slot, it began to disappear into the pillar.

    It took about a minute or two until the top of the tablet was completely flush with the top of the pillar. As soon as it stopped sinking into the pillar, the sides of the pillar opened up making it look like some radar type thingy.

    Well, that was the last one. Each one of the pillars were set and ready to go. But for what? What was going to happen? Would you finally get out of here? How was this contraption going to move the stone in front of the door?

    You waited and waited, but nothing happened. You began to lose hope again. But wait, you had one more object to find. “What was that other thing I was supposed to find?” you went back over to the book and looked at the matrix again.

    You still had to find the object that represents something about encouragement. “AHHHHH. I’ll never get out of here!!”

    Well, you had to try at least. So you began to look for another thingy.

    “Well, let’s see. What should I be looking for? Hey, maybe. . .nope, that won’t work. Ummmm. . . How ‘bout . . . No, that doesn’t make sense either.” So you started wandering around the room again. Maybe it’s in the other room. You went back into the treasure room and began looking again.

    I am an I.T. professional working as the I.T. director at a very large church. Previous to my I.T. position I was the Youth Director for Junior High/Middle School youth group. During my time working with youth I saw the need for Biblical devotionals that would encourage the students to study the Bible everyday. To facilitate that I developed a series of weekly devotionals titled G-TRAX Devo's. Each devotional begins with a crazy, thought provoking story to draw them into the lesson and then moves on to short study. To hold their interest I interspersed word search and crossword puzzle, with essay questions and other question/answer formats. Once I left the youth ministry I turned the hard copy devotionals into an online version
