The Flog – The Fabry Log

I drove my kids 90 minutes northwest to Coolidge, AZ last night. It was the first time I'd been in a Nazarene Church in a long time. The reason was to see Chuck Neighbors in his one man show, "Not the Way I Heard It." It's a modern take on the parables of Jesus and it was quite thought-provoking. Funny in places, poignant in others, it was a great evening. If you have the chance to see Chuck, do it!

Chuck is an accomplished dramatist and I really wanted my son, Ryan, to see him. Ryan was accepted at a prestigious drama/acting school in New York, but with the treatment we're getting, the expense of the schooling, and the fact that he would have to stay in a dorm that is quite old, we all decided this would not be a good thing for his long-term future. We backed out of the program this year and he was sufficiently bummed about the decision. Also bummed that we lost some cash, of course. But he knows his story is going to be much bigger than one schooling opportunity.

I was struck again, listening to Chuck, with how much God loves stories. He loves to tell stories through our lives. He loves to speak into our lives with his own stories. And he prompts us to share the stories that mean a lot to us with others. Share a story with someone today.
