Duke Divinity's online magazine has published an article about Salem and the experience with the flood in 2008. It is an honest look at the struggle and excitement that is the adventure of following Jesus. You can read it here . What do you think?

What Is a Story?

There's an anecdote about a dancer who, after dancing beautifully, was asked what the dance meant. She replied, "If I could simply tell you with words then I would not have to dance." I read a blog post about the meaning of story in scripture. It begins with this quote from Flannery O'Connor: "A story is a way to say something which can't be said any other way, and it takes every word in the story to say it." God didn't give us propositions to follow but rather invites us to be a part of a story, a drama that is unfolding even now. This is a good post to check out.
