I have been thinking of doing one for JM, but without someone to draw it's going to be a sad, tragic work. Albeit well-written. ;)hewhocutsdownWed, 21 May 2008 19:49:34 -0000http://www.jesusmanifesto.com/2008/05/20/once-upon-a-time/#comment-504824I will definitely look that one up.

I have seen the film 20+ times...<br><br>For small group story sharing, I highly recommend Toben and Joanne Heim's "What's Your Story?: An Interactive Guide to Building Authentic Relationships".arkychickyWed, 21 May 2008 09:23:32 -0000http://www.jesusmanifesto.com/2008/05/20/once-upon-a-time/#comment-502231I just watched Stranger Than Fiction, and I must say, you are a genius for picking up on what you did. I can't believe I blew through that portion of the film without stopping to think about what was being communicated. <br>I just began my trek into pastoral ministry as the pastor of young adults at a local church in Minneapolis. We're a small group, maybe 8-10 on a good week. But one of the first things we are doing is sharing our "stories"--how we got to where we are, where God has brought us from, the people he used to get us there, etc... As we tell these stories, we begin to see a little bit of of our own journey in the other's tales and we begin to resemble a family more so than a club. I'm not sure everyone else is buying it, but I'm having a blast.MichaelClineWed, 21 May 2008 08:53:45 -0000
