So many stories.

I think I want to write more about stories.

So much of my life revolves areound stories. I wonder how many different catergories of stories I could come up with (I mean, the ones that are a big part of my life.) I'm only going to give one or two examples of each because I don't want to be up thinking about this for hours :) I think I'm going to try to write the stories under each catergory in chronological order of when they first affected my life.

Stories that are central to who I am and more importantly, who I'm living for:
  • The Old Testament, the Gospels, and the rest of the New Testament. I know all of that is found in the same binding, but I just needed to break it up into slightly smaller stories for my brain's sake.
  • My life stories.

I'm looking over at my bookshelves right now....

Stories that inspire me to be brave:

  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Speaker for the Dead
  • The Kite Runner

Stories that make me aware of this beautiful blue green planet and the people I share it with:

  • Windwalker
  • Pocahontas (that one will need an explanation, I know.)
  • A long way home
  • The forest people

Stories that help me understand the beauty in the dissonance:

  • Les Miserables
  • The Lion King :)
  • The Giver
  • Music written by Jon Foreman
