Fairytale with no fairies (but there are angels)

(Pre-Script: Your sense of reality will shift 34% if you read this post while the song, " Closer To Love," #54 on the playlist, plays in the background...so go down to the playlist, click on that song, then come back and resume reading. I'll wait...) (...still waiting...)

The Ultimate Fairytale is ultimately what we were created for, and it is more real than the reality that we see with our physical eyes.
Blink.
Blink.
So I've been thinking a lot these past few months about how much the Bible and Disney Fairytales have in common. Talking donkeys and having food brought to you by sweet birdies are only 2 examples. People love fairytales. When you read the Bible all the way through, it is no wonder that we do; the truest reality our hearts will ever know is very much like the happenings of a fairytale, with hope and salvation entering the picture at a time when all seems dark and hopeless. Evil puts up a strong fight, but Good ultimately conquers. Sword fights and Dragon slaying lead to the "happily ever after" ending...a king on his horse whisking his beautiful bride off into the sunset, where the sun never sets, to live in a perfect kingdom full of gold, jewels, palaces, fantastical creatures and constant singing? Somebody call Disney to tell them that their ideas were taken straight out of the Bible.
Blink.
Blink.
Talking donkeys are only one example.

-XOXO,
