Revealed one of my many favorite pastimes in last post: people-watching. There's a scene in the movie Wonder Boys (this is no recommendation for any to watch this movie, btw) where three main characters, all writers, pick out various folks in a bar and create a backstory for that random person. I don't go so far as to create whole backstories, but I do love wondering about their lives.

One of the great things about God is that He has hand-crafted unique stories for each individual; no two journeys are alike. And not only has He taken the time to craft these individual stories, but He knows each of these stories intimately. Like a master storyteller, He could take hours to intricately detail each tale, reveling in the little things.

And one more level beyond even this, not only has He hand-crafted your story, not only does He know your story, but He makes you feel as if your story is that important. You are not the center of the universe, no. But one of the great things about God is that every now and then He makes you feel as if you are.
