------------------
From Marge: This blog comes out of time in the studio & on the road, discovering-creating-using-teaching the storyrope™ within the context of the Christian worldview.  Friends will be sharing their experiences as well.

Venues of teaching the blog will share:
Genocide & ethnic cleansing survivors, victims of domestic violence, abused women, the homeless, the elderly, building cross-cultural relationships & others.

Why are our stories important? 
• have unchangeable stuff in them
• enable us to overcome shame
• are what the enemy meant for evil,
• BUT are what God meant for good
• invite God to reveal himself
• are what we know for sure
• are unique, exciting, encouraging
• are urgently needed.
• display God at work in our lives
• are life messages
• are personal & powerful
• lead to belief & worship
• make more sense when older
• will encounter opposition
