My husband and I love history...we talk about it quite often.  A long time ago, I ran across a phrase that sums it up for me...HIS (S)TORY...The Bible, all written records about mankind, is GOD's STORY...He is the HIS; we are the STORY...These are the written records of how God relates to us and we to God...and we to each other.  Our track record in relating is pretty shaky...sometimes better than at other times.  So for me this reflection is timely.  One we ought to ponder and think upon.
