Last night I heard Donald Miller speak "Let Story Guide You" at Willow Creek. He is amazing. I feel like everything he says is a slicker, funnier version of the feelings I have. He is able to articulate the importance of story beyond what I have cognizantly recognized, but I know to the core of my being is why I have dedicated my life to it. Perhaps it's a cop out, but I don't want to even try to explain his ideas because my version would not do justice to his presentation. Looking around at his website, I see that the message seems to be in the same vein as what his new book is going to be. So, if I see you soon, I'll play you the cd I have of his message, if not, then read his book when it comes out. But, I will say that a quote that opens Neil Gaiman's Coraline is perfectly in keeping with the theme (though not really what he spoke about).
Fairy tales are more than true: not because
they tell us that dragons exist, but because
they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
—G. K. Chesterton
Incidentally, worshiping with The David Crowder Band was far more energizing and satisfying than any of the True Colors artists, even Erasure.
