a minor character in the big Story — Jesus is the Hero. Following Him as @karipatterson's husband, father, pastor (@GodRenews), old man runs/tris (@renewjeff)

An epic poem turned hymn (verse 5):
But all thru’ the mountains, thunder-riv’n,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose such a cry to the gate of Heav’n,
“Rejoice, I have found my sheep!”
And the angels echoed around the throne,
“Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!”
“Our culture shows its advancement through accomplishments, while the Bible calls us to a secret and hidden maturity that grows like the kingdom—like a mustard seed. It grows instead of grabs.”
—@john_starke, The Secret Place of Thunder
