Have you ever considered the fact that Jesus taught His followers through the telling of stories—parables in the Biblical vernacular? Is it any wonder, then, that many of us still learn through truths skillfully woven into the fibers of a good story, or hidden in plain sight between the lines? Although this applies to both fact and fiction, for me, the latter is preferable.
My dad was a great storyteller. My early years were filled with the music of his voice, and of his piano. I still hunger for those sounds. I still seek wisdom through stories. I still write with my dad's favorite music playing in the background.
How about you?
