Grown in Faith

There is a memory that stands out to me from when I was very young. My mom, dad, brother and I went to this big outdoor picnic somewhere. Admittingly, I don’t recall what it was for. I just remember being there and having fun. Whomever had hosted the event had it arranged for the kids…

Have you ever been on an escalator? Something about those stairs always moving, always makes me hesitate getting on. Some people really enjoy them. I admit, there is a level of amusement about them. But it’s that first step that always gets me. I know if I step on it right and just enjoy the…
