Why tell a story like the one Andy and I tell?

A story that's about all the things we did wrong.

A story that highlights our mistakes, our bad motivations, our broken marriage?

Because here's what I think:

If we don't tell the truth about what He redeems us from, we minimize His power, His grace, His love, his capacity to go beyond anything we would ever dare to ask, think, or believe.

If we don't admit and talk about how broken we have been, there is no way we can celebrate HOW GOOD HE IS.  

Because, see, I don't think that only "the heathen" need to be saved.
