We may not realize it…

but the sources of a quality story, big or small, are all around us. If we use all our senses, the everyday life and surrounding creation are as a farmer’s field of story ideas or just seeds for stories. That is the focus of this blog…where story can be found and the tools to cultivate it. 

God is the great storyteller in our life and he’s full of ideas as our developing eyesight to detect them grows. I just wish to share ideas that I’m learning and gleaning along the walk in the story farm of life that hopefully can be beneficial to you as a reader.
