Bryan and Karen, late 70s.
I was recently named the Gulf Coast Writers Association’s Featured Writer and was asked to submit a poem or short story for their website. I decided to share “A Southern Baptist Courtship,” a true account of how I met my future spouse. I wish I could say that the story is filled with romance and evidence of my outstanding character traits. Unfortunately, like most how-we-met stories, the beginning was a tad awkward, the initial attraction was rooted in superficial admiration, and one of us was not on our best behavior (I promise, I’m a much nicer person now!).

Congratulations, Karen! I read your story and it made me smile.
If you’re interested, you can read my story. I wrote it last September. If you look into October, you will find a follow up to the story
