Donald Miller said some pretty profound things tonight. He talked about the way we are designed to live in a story. I think we underestimate the authorial dimension of God's character. God is a storyteller. And He wants to tell His-story through our lives!
What really resonated with me was his reframing of conflict. Most of us don't like conflict, but a story without conflict is boring! Conflict makes the story. The greater the antagonism the greater the story!
At the end of the day, putting your faith in Christ is like giving God editorial control of your life. You let God tell His-story through you. And no one tells a better story! There is an old saying: get a life. I think Donald was saying: get a story! That is what God gives us when we enter into relationship with the author of our faith.

I really like that!! Don miller had a great way of puttin things
I guess God did not want our spring 07 story to be boring. We are all moved to Tampa VA. A few issues here but headed in the upward direction. Daily basking in His Grace, helps the story line to be easier to swallow. Thanks for your prayers---Craig Chambers
