if there is a story there is a storyteller.

struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then
is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot,

The heart has its reasons that reason knows
not of. Blaise Pascal

Our original, shimmering self gets buried so

selves which we are constantly putting on and
taking off like coats and hats against the
worlds weather. Frederick Beuchner
17
Above all else, the Christian life is a love

These people say they are mine. They honour me
with their lips, but their hearts are far away.
And their worship of me amounts to nothing more

God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom
rejoices over his bride. Isaiah 625 (NLT)
