The Sophomore Girlfriend – Mr. Morgan P. McCarthy

The Sophomore Girlfriend—Brindle Staid–and Flanders Nickels have been dating for one year now. Flanders was born again now for one month. But Brindle is still lost. They are both tenth-graders at Preble High School. And tonight on a date they are at the varsity football game to see the Preble Hornets play the first game of the year. Their disagreement upon her own need for salvation comes to a head this evening, and they are on the verge of breaking up. And along comes the star quarterback—the most popular boy of high school.

My collection of Christian short stories, numbering one hundred in all, I affectionately call ‘My Canon of Horsetails and Cattails.’ And my collection of Christian novels, numbering fifteen in all, I affectionately call ‘My Canon of Griffins and Unicorns.’ And my pen name—Flanders Nickels—I came up with from nowhere some time back in the mid-1980’s. And my writing ministry for God I happily call ‘My Canon Ministry.’ I use only the King James Version Bible. And I am a fundamental Baptist. I hope that you have fun reading for free on this website. And I myself became a born-again believer in Christ in a most wondrous time around Christmas in 1990 in a soul-changing twelve days which I fondly call ‘My Twelve Days of Christmas.’ It is written, ‘”…, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,…” Acts 16:31.’
