story: n. an account of incidents or events

If I was to ask you to tell me your story, how would you respond? Perhaps you would tell me how old you are, where you were born and where you live, a bit about your family, education, job, and accomplishments. Those things, however, are basic facts, an autobiographical overview, far removed from the whole of your story. 

grace: n. God-given help or kindness

sufficient: adj. enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end

The day began as it often does. A thought placed in my mind before I fully awaken and have the chance to give valid consideration to anything. I’m usually half asleep.  

The scenario reminds me of one of those news tickers, a “crawler” that shows up on the bottom of a television screen, moving slowly as it silently announces headlines.
