Example

. . . the boat where Jesus is asleep while the disciples are being scared witless:

Little kids probably weren't in the boat (teenagers, maybe) but I bet they played on the beach and dipped their toes and fingers in the water. I bet they even played in their father's boat when it was on shore. Did you ever feel the water-worn wood of a fishing boat? Or the smell? :-) I bet they fingered the ropes and the fish and the nets. If they ever got to ride in the boat, they felt the rocking of the waves and the splash of the surf. I bet some of them saw waves taller than themselves. [Engage your own imagination here, anytime!]

I bet that children by the sea quickly learned to discern when there was a storm coming. And when the storm came, what did it feel like to live in their houses? Their houses weren't like ours are.

Know what else I bet? I bet every adult who was in any way associated with that eventful storm ride went home and told the story to everyone and anyone who would listen....and we all know how children love stories! "Say't again..."

Such is the stuff of taking wonder questions beyond the question and into the imagination- to become engaged in the story and hopefully encounter the greatest Story-Teller ever.

Imagine being 2 or 5 or 10 or 15 ... Where would you be? What would you be doing? How would it affect you?
