FAN FACT


Dear All of Us,

There's a 

brand new 

old fad 

kicking around

just now.

We take something 

we really like.

We work it.

We don't let it end.

We play it forward.


The "it" here is fiction

- novels, movies, 

  tv series and such.

We pick up 

the story line,

the characters. 

We write them forward.

Our favored fictions, 

so developed by us,

are posted online 

for all to see.

It's called

       FAN FICTION


Spirituality is

       FAN FACT

We further what we favor.

We do something with it.

We don't let it end.

We play it forward.

We script it in

attitude and action 

- our actual, factual living.

What we so script is posted

in plain sight for all to see. 


Spirituality 

flourishes when

we are life right,

we write right, 

     true 

      to 

    author, 

charter and plot.

We are such "fans"

that we live and breath them.

They continue and develop 

in our unique telling.



Not to be missed, 

  so we again

  see it, say it 

  some more.

We are God Fans 

   Big Time!

God is author, 

character and plot.

We are absorbed.

We can't get enough

         AND

God writes us 

into the story 

and the telling.

We are intimately 

in on it.


Let's take five 

for a few flips.

This is superlative

on steroids!

We are not only fans,

we get to live the story 

and to tell it in the living.

We are right there

in the writers' guild

with the prophets, Paul, 

and all the rest of the 

earlier story tellers.

      Like them 

we experience the story 

and can't keep it to ourselves.

We tell it in terms unique to us:

our personality, gifts, graces, 

talents, location and culture,

even hang ups and short comings.

We do so enthused and joyous.


And sad to see and say

there are contrary storylines

being pushed public.

There are a lousy lot of narratives

flooding media, political parties,

economics, education, 

phony-fraud religiosity,

these turbulent, troubling times.

They are seeping into 

psyche, soul,

action and reaction.

They are getting institutionalized 

in movements, political parties,

even laws and libraries.

They are lethal forever chemicals

poisoning our social - spiritual flow.  

We so need 

             FAN FACT

       people in love with 

         The Good Story

         The God Story

         God Glad Fans

        living a narrative 

             fresh, full

          real and right

      alive and enlivening

          freeing society 

            from theses 

          horror stories, 

   these negative narratives.


Most of our telling 

is not in words.

We write large 

in the living. 


Just going to church, 

not stealing or 

committing adultery,

don't cut it.

Our society 

needs people

fired up in 

God Love,

co-authoring 

new, vigorous chapters 

            in  

  THE GOOD NEWS

So we not only test 

     God Positive

We publish 

     God Positive.

We are a 

      FAN IN FACT
