Description:

Introduction I was never cut out to be a "preacher." Oh, I tried hard enough. I made every effort to measure up to what I thought someone standing behind a pulpit on Sunday mornings should be. What I got for my efforts was an upset stomach and a feeling of absolute terror every Saturday night. It took a long time to figure out, but the solution was relatively simple. I needed to give up o the idea that I would ever be a preacher of my "shoulds." So I did. Over time, I came to think of myself as a minstrel, a teller of of tales. i found the Bible to be a gold mine of stories waiting to be told through word and song, and I couldn't wait to tell them. the beauty of story-telling was that I didn't need to be the "keeper of the answers, " as if I ever was. Stories hold "truth" in their own right; they leave it to the listener to sort out meaning and implication.
