Sharing Your Faith Via Digital Storytelling “We are our stories. We compress years of experience, thought, and emotion into a few compact narratives that we convey to others and tell to ourselves.” - Daniel Pink A Whole New Mindhttp://ubiquitousthoughts.files.wordpress.com/2006/10/yahoo_timecapsule.jpg

Why Do We Tell Stories? We tell storiesbecause we can!

Why Do We Tell Stories? Since prehistory we have shared stories or narratives, originally in pictures or symbols drawn on cave walls..

Why Do We Tell Stories? Stories often take ontheir own life and it is the story we remember not the actual event.

Why Do We Tell Stories?This is a way of keeping memories alive that might have faded.
