Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time...

In a land far away...

In a time not so long ago...

Something amazing actually happened...

This land is a place called Italy...

In a little town called Bobbio Pellice...
In a big yellow building called Forterocca...

With a group of people called artists...

Who walked around in socks...

Frolicked in flowers...

Danced and sang in the woods at night...

Painted with their feet...

Used hair for art...

Made moss graffiti on stone houses...
Threw the most awesome birthdays ever...

Organized photo-shoots in the wilderness...

and 

Worshiped with the entire beings.

They became artists fully alive and awakened to who God created them to be...creators for the Creator's Kingdom...



And it really happened...

Once upon another time...

In another land far away...

In a time very, very long ago...

Something else amazing actually happened...

This land is a place called Israel...

And the man who the "something amazing" is all about is Jesus...

And he really lived...

He baptized...

He saw value and invited the lowest of society to follow him...

He turned water into wine...

He healed the broken and hurt...

He brought the dead to life...

He talked to masses, and he talked to a few...

He was honest, faithful, and merciful...

He ate, drank, and celebrated...

He also died...

Then he came back to life. 

And it really happened.

And because it happened...

Our lives can really happen...

And they all lived...really, really lived.
