Today's meditation talks about talking out our story details to help work them out. It also suggests using a tape recorder to do this. Frankly I have been doing both. I have a Bible Study/series of skits that I have been working on for awhile. I talk each lesson/skit out on both a tape recorder and also with a trusted friend.
Under For Further Reflection: Fred White states "Spontaneity gos a long way, and by talking out your ideas, you are engaging your innate ability to generate story content spontaneously.. . . We can amze ourselves by how inventive we can be 'off the cuff'."
Writing assignment isn't really a writing assignment but to share you embryonic stor idea and encourage that person to ask questions or request elaboration or clarification. Keep pencil and paper handy!
The Bible Study I have been working on is about four different women from the Bible. These five women pressed forward past certain obstacles to be close to Jesus. The woman with an issue of blood pressed by religious taboos. Mary of Bethany pressed by cultural expectations and disapproval. The prostitute who annointed Jesus' feet with her tears at the Pharisee's house pressed by society's disapproval. The Samariatian woman at the well pressed by ethnic disapproval. Then it ends with question about what is keep you from pressing forward.
