Introduction	I've been thinking about rough draft stories. Specifically, the incompleteness of them. That things in unfinished stories are not permanent, they can be changed. The injustices can be written out of the stories. Ugly things can be beautiful. God can change things. God can heal brokenness. He can edit out chapters and write new ones. He can redeem injustices done into something life-giving. Once stories are finished and they are published and bound for reading, editing can not be done. It's finished. God has been showing me that my story is a rough draft. He will partner with me and the people He has surrounded me with to edit my story and to continue writing it. That's why I've started this blog. That through engaging in conversation our stories will be written and as they move, change and converge with one another something beautiful will be created.
