“ You are indeed in the story.”

Just false and made up.

It is all written for our benefit, but it is not us, and it is not all about us.

A couple of people with Down Syndrome usually join our Bowling Night for Seminarians and local priests. It’s a joy to watch everyone have fun and interacting.

Not just the Gospels but the entire biblical narrative is our story, too. We are in the story, and the story is in us.

Excellent article. The topic transcends the usual religious boundaries.

On a related note (because the short Book of Jonah is read on Yom Kippur, which was today)

Why do we read the Book of Jonah on Yom Kippur?

The Book of Jonah, read in its entirety during the Yom Kippur afternoon services, is the story of your life.

The Story of Your Life

essay: a short piece of writing on a particular subject.

It really *is* about US, being a "You" essay (USA).

That pun is funny, but it's no joke! Mysteries of the universe therein.

Everytime I’ve met one they seem joyful and innocent. The world needs them.
