ya'll are probably sick of posts referencing donald miller, story, a million miles, etc. one more, humor me please! i gave the book to ramon, my film making co-worker at sbux, before leaving for idaho. as a story teller and film maker i wanted to see what he thought. he's been tearing through it. he said he hated it at first, mostly due to his aversion for "rules" that pertain to art, but when he got to jason's story (chapter 9 i think) everything changed. his two younger brothers have gotten in to some trouble and even been to juvee. he realized that he, and his family, have not been offering them a better story. so ramon wants them to tell their story...they are going to make a film together and maybe enter in to some festivals like this one, and see if maybe the story telling process helps them move their stories forward in some positive ways. how cool is that!

I agree with your mom (in spite of my anti-Donald Miller bias).
