Thanks. Telling the gospel stories by accomplished storytellers is a critical skill that has been greatly under-appreciated & under-utilized! The storytellers are typically excluded from functioning or are made into babysitters. There is an increasing population of people whose only or initial exposure to the gospel and the Bible could be accomplished by the art of storytelling. Keep developing your skills, they are valuable and required!

Thanks so much for the encouragement Keith. Your comment is quite profound actually. I will do just that, praying the Lord gives the increase.

You're welcome. Storytelling isn't just for children - three are many adults who have little desire or aptitude to study the scriptures or to listen to sermons. However, most everyone really enjoys hearing stories! This includes people of other cultures, too!

Don't let anyone put you in a corner or shut you up - this work is too important!

And Jim. I gotta say. Your writing continually has really improved the delivery. It was good before but you really gave it flowing well. I wrote a story publishing tomorrow. A children’s parable. It’s fun to frame a story around scripture. Kudos.

Oh no, now the pressure is really on. 😉 Seriously though I don’t take your comments lightly and certainly not the Word. I always pray the Lord blesses anything I write.

I feel the same. Especially as subscribers increase you realize even more it’s a responsibility and a commitment .
