I've heard it said that there is no story of redemption that doesn't include depravity, and I believe that to be true. Otherwise, why would we even need to be redeemed? I hear countless stories where I work dealing with all sorts of things that I would never wish upon anyone. But, the very things that make up their stories are the very markers in their lives that indicate God's redeeming power in them....the same power that raised Christ. We need to quit omitting. Thanks for the comment, Brent.

We have been begun our Community Groups by having everyone tell their stories and we are going through "The Story of God" in our Sunday School time. Our "modern" mindset for some reason ignores the reality and power of story, even though it's fundamental to every person in every culture. Good words. Good words.

I would have to say that if my story was ever published, it would have to be titled "Found." P.S. to other potential views of this blog today: Melodee is a talented photographer, and has been known to write some pretty sweet blog posts herself. Take time to check her out! Indeed, my friend.
