I invite everyone to join me in a discussion about stories of faith I have read and listened to Rabbi T tell stories and am curious if the stories touch or affect anyone else.

I first heard Rabbi T tell wonderful stories when I was in religious school and thought they were great. But as I grew older it seemed that the way people acted and treated one another soured me on faith. I doubted the validity of organized religion.

Then a few years ago I discovered the Story Tour Blog and when I read the stories I realized that faith is in me not those who say one thing and do another.

I wonder what other people feel about the stories and if they touch others. Join me in a discussion and let’s see where it goes.

 

I like the changes and am excited about the weekly podcast on the Story Tour Blog. Now the stories told by Rabbi T will be broadcast for all to hear.

 

The rabbi has tried to add at least one or two stories each week, with the hope of strengthening faith and understanding through the many readers and communities. Due to rising expenses and the need to work longer hours and harder, his stories have become less frequent.

 

He no longer has the Microsoft Office suite to edit and prepare the stories because the subscription ran out. The Photoshop, Audition and DreamWeaver subscriptions have run out also. The rabbi has financed everything including the webhosting and domain fees himself ans is unable to continue doing so.

 

What was originally started as a way to share old and forgotten tales of faith costing almost nothing and representing a few hours a week of time commitment evolved into a project demanding a lot of time and expense. The highest cost is the time cost – working on this site many hours a week. This is all very good, and we’re delighted at the steady growth in popularity of the Story Tour Blog, but please don’t let us become victims of our own ‘success’!

 

No income from the Story Tour Blog has been realized, but expenses have grown such as web-hosting, software and other web-based development costs. Our goal is to raise $5000.00 which would allow us to improve the Story Tour Blog. If you feel you’ve received some value, or would like to help support the site’s ongoing presence, please share. Any donation would be much appreciated and will help to keep the site online and growing.
