From the beginning of time, we have told stories, whether it has been the exploits of the day’s hunt,  reciting a sonnet to the object of one’s affection, or my favorite, reading bedtime stories while snuggling with my children. Stories are powerful and are far more effective than dry narration when expressing the heartbeat of life. In the Gospels, we see that Jesus taught and expressed the beauty of heaven, not through well-planned lessons in theology; Instead, He used the language of stories.

In a simple greeting, we ask one another , “how are you?” When trying to figure out something out, the inevitable question is, “what’s going on around here?” In other words, tell me a story.  Stories can bring clarity and understanding, where previously none existed. They are the stuff that unites us, be that a group of people, friends  or an entire culture, stories have a power, that in some ways, define us and give us purpose.

At ” Your Life Is Your Story” it is my aim, not only to tell my own story of life but to give you, the reader not only a part in the story but to tell your own story as well, for as I’ve said before, ” the story of your life…is worthy. ” So please take this opportunity to contact me on the contact section at the bottom of the page.
