God has designed us to be a people of stories. Every night as we gather around our dinner table we share stories.
And yet, after I finished college, I set aside fiction reading for many years. Non-fiction seemed practical. Fiction seemed frivolous. Why listen to stories, when you can learn facts?
Some years back, I picked up fiction again, and I realized that in setting fiction aside for a diet of only non-fiction, my imagination shriveled, and my ego grew. Humility begets imagination, and imagination fosters humility.
Who would have imagined this world we are living in? No one would have predicted a year ago that our lives would have looked like this.
