Thank you!!!!

Thank you for putting this into words: "storytelling is the most effective vehicle of truth" - so true! After all, Jesus told stories - that in itself speaks loudly of their value. Your entire essay is so good, and I truly appreciate your ending: "You live in a better story than the ones the world is telling you. Take courage."

"Fear not, for I am with you."
