Stories open windows to the world.
Hello Readers,
Kona and I invite you to explore the wonderful world of story.
As a blogger, photographer, and hobby collector, I write about faith and spirituality, our shared humanity, contemporary culture, and entertainment. Reading, writing, and storytelling enrich my life.
I share footnotes to stories that impact my life.
Reading Frederich Buechner led me to start blogging in 2009 and inspired the name of this website.

“So, in the long run the stories all overlap and mingle like searchlights in the dark. The stories Jesus tells are part of the story Jesus is, and the other way around. And the story of Jesus is part of the story you and I are because Jesus has become so much a part of the world’s story that it is impossible to imagine how any of our stories would have turned out without him . . . And my story and your story are all part of each other too . . . so that we are at least a footnote at the bottom of each other’s stories” (137).”
Frederick Buechner
Reading the Bible, writing, and thinking about life through the lens of story, I believe that as human beings our stories intersect, mingle, and overlap.
“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”
––C.S. Lewis
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. ”
“It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”
–– Jane Austin
