So it will be for years to come as it was when President Kennedy was assassinated or the Challenger fell from the skies. Then people will tell one another stories. We will tell miraculous stories and tragic stories. Some of them will be stories of relief and others will be of immeasurable grief.
People of faith know about stories.
Our sacred text is a book full of stories. Stories of men and women and their relationship with God and one another. Our tradition is another source of stories as we listen to those who have gone before us and how they worked out their relationship with God and each other. Jesus told stories all the time. He probably told many more than we have recorded in the Bible.
