we continue to use some of the story language from a million miles to help explain the Ask.Pursue.Live. sojourn lingo for our on campus gathering at BU. tonight we talked about character: a character is what he or she does...who are our favorite characters...what is it that they do that is so compelling (or repulsive)...and ultimately do our actual lives/character match up with the kind of story we want to tell.
billy, as an expression of his frustration over the fact that the life he wants to lead doesn't always match reality said this: "i want my life to be an action-adventure but it feel more like a social satire."
hilarious.
on a completely different note: please pray for our neighborhood...it is pretty clear that there has been some dealing going on in the park next to our house and that our street and the park are being watched closely. when i left for BU tonight there was an unmarked police car in the street with all the doors open and the engine running and three detectives questioning and searching a dude right at the edge of the park. been a crazy week.

Glad to hear that the work at BU is gong well - sad to hear about the neighborhood. Thanks for your very encouraging letter. It means a lot to us. :-). And on the story front, I'd be happy with nearly any genre but Horror!!
