Uncle Dan’s stories were just entertainment. However, the Word of God is not entertainment but the basis of all truth. When I know God’s truth, it will set me free from everything else.

One thing I have learned in life is that for many people, truth is a
relative thing. The truth is what they say it is, and you can't 
convince them otherwise. 

I wrestle with telling the truth all the time. If you tell the truth,
you do not have to remember what happened. But when you lie, you have 
to have a good memory of what the last lie was. Unfortunately, I do not 
have that kind of memory. 

What I do remember is good old Uncle Dan. Now, he was not a biological
uncle in that sense. But he was so much a part of our family and our 
family gatherings that everybody treated him like an uncle. 

Everybody in the family really loved Uncle Dan. He had a charm about him
that nobody could really refuse. He wasn't married and had no siblings, 
so, apart from my family, he had no family. We gladly welcomed him into 
our family circle. 

What most of us liked about Uncle Dan was his humorous stories. He never
ran out of stories to tell, and they were all hilarious. He was so 
funny I believed he could have been a comedian, but we accepted him and 
enjoyed his comedy. 

Uncle Dan has been gone now for at least 20 years, but I still remember
quite a few things about him. Of course, my memory is focused on his 
stories. For every family gathering, he had at least one story to tell. 


As soon as Uncle Dan began one of his stories, he had our attention. 

We all laughed almost uncontrollably while he told his story. We didn't
know at the time, but we laughed because he told different versions of 
the same story. It was when he went fishing at the lake. I don't know 
where it all started, because it was always a different lake. 

At the time, nobody realized he was telling the same story, just
different versions. Every time he told the story, it turned out 
differently from the story before. 

My cousin and I were the first ones to realize what good old Uncle Dan
was doing. Whether Uncle Dan knew he was doing it or not, I will never 
know. 

After one of his storytelling episodes, my cousin and I were together, I
looked at him and said, "Wasn't that similar to the story he told the 
last time?" 

My cousin looked at me, scratched his chin, and then said, "You know, I
think you're right. That was similar to the one he told last time, and 
the one he told before that, and the one he told before that one. They 
all were similar." 

Together, we laughed as only cousins could. We couldn't wait until the
next family gathering with Uncle Dan. We wanted to see if anybody else 
caught on to what Uncle Dan was doing. 

My cousin and I agreed that Uncle Dan probably did not know he was
changing these stories every time. To him, it was like he was telling 
the story for the very first time. 

Several years after he passed away at our family gathering, I brought up
the subject. "I sure miss Uncle Dan stories. They sure were very 
entertaining." Then the family group laughed together and smiled. 

I could not help it, but I had to take it one step further: "Do any of
you know what Uncle Dan was doing with his stories?" 

Nobody understood what I was saying. One person said, "They were very
funny stories and I enjoyed every one of them." 

I then presented another question, "Can anybody tell me how many stories
Uncle Dan told?" 

A silly chuckle ran through the crowd, and finally someone said, "He
told us a new story every time we got together. I don't remember how
