Meaning: Story

In a music ministry team in college, my friend always opened her testimony saying, "Everyone has a story."  I love that statement and believe that it's true. Stories contain memories, communicate truths, and cross boundaries.  As mentioned in a previous post, I like to know the what and why of things.  I like to know what makes people tick - what has shaped them to be who they are.  This connects to my family in the person of my mother - a natural story teller.  She tells our family's stories.  I will never be as good as she is :)  It is also deeply connected to my faith.  Jesus taught with stories - parables.  And I have heard the Bible described - from Genesis through Revelation - as the complete story of God's love and His redemption of man.  What a story!
