Concepts create idols. Only wonder understands. - Gregory of Nyssa Look at people. Notice their faces. Imagine the story behind each face - where they have come from, where they are going and why, whom they love and who loves them, what they want and need and dream about, what drives them and draws them. You are a story in progress surrounded by stories in progress, and at any moment, your story could intersect with the story of someone else, and as a result, both of your stories will take a novel turn. In the process, both of you will find yourselves part of God's unfolding story too, because God's story intersects with ours at every turn, in every breath, pulsing in every heartbeat. - Brian McLaren from More Ready Than You Realize
