Which came first -- the metaphor, or the headline?

I love drama!  But not drama for drama's sake, rather 'drama' connections in real life.  In literary terms, drama requires the main character to encounter conflicts and resolve them. 

HOW REAL DOES THAT GET? 

We can learn so much about our world, ourselves and our God by looking at those dramatic moments from history.  One that has impacted me greeatly this year is the historical fiction novel, "The King's Shadow."

The 'king' in the book is the last Saxon king who ruled England for less than a year in 1066 a.d.

The 'shadow' is the young man who comes to him as nothing and ends up being adopted as son and heir to the king.

Gee, that's profound enough, but that's just the beginning and the end of the story.

I can't wait to tell you the middle!

The real story--probably has limited consequences for us today, but...

...the metaphor -- WOW! -- We all could stand to see ourselves as this 'Shadow' of the King of Kings!

Stay tuned!
