"... I talk about my life anyway because if, on the one hand, hardly anything could be less important, on the other hand, hardly anything could be more important. My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours. Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I, of these stories of who we are and where we have come from and the people we have met along the way because it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully and personally."

I am so thankful for your friendship - yes, your life is important to God, to you and to so many of the people you call friend and yes, God has made Himself known to me through you and your stories ... keep them coming!!
What a neat quote!
Hindsight is so powerful. As is reflection on that hindsight. It makes you want to see what's next and how you're going to either thrive or "make it through" the next story. Both are worthy of a good telling. You're a good teller.
Love it!
