My friend Amy Dolan wrote a complimentary article about Bible Storying and my book for the Jan/Feb issue of
Children's Ministry Magazine. The article also features insights from Amy and
Gary Strudler, a veteran Children's Ministry Pastor from Oregon. Both have been using storying and partnered with me on different occasions. Amy leads
LemonLime Kids a innovative ministry that helps churches envision
a fresh approach to teaching and leading children. Check it out

"Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not a waiting passivity until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand."
