What's the Theme?

What bizarre stories!
I can’t believe how the author changed some of these versions. In a way it was humorous just because it was more realistic. The way the nursery rhymes changed made me think of how drastically our culture changes too. Think of what it was like fifty years ago in America. Yea we still had prostitution, drugs, and the sort, but it was still somehow so much different. If it wasn’t different then our baby boomers wouldn’t be so upset about how our generation has turned out.

And just as these stories had different themes, so do our lives have different themes. I have been doing a lot of soul searching this week, so much so that it’s hard to even concentrate on writing this blog. I feel like God is really moving on this campus, stirring our hearts for something huge. And it’s making me think…what is the theme of my life? What am I living for? If my life were to be summarized, what would that synopsis say about my theme? When I became a Christian seven years ago, my story reached its climax. And since then my theme has changed a lot, starting with my growth in God, then moving on to winning souls for Christ, then to healing and restoration. But what is it now? I feel like while I am here at SEU my theme is preparation. My life is so focused on school at times that it drives me crazy, but then I try to remind myself that it will all be worth it in the end. I guess that is a good theme for now!

In class we discussed the possibility of there being many themes in one story. Maybe that is what is going on in all of our lives. What’s the theme of your story?
