Grown in Faith

   I was thinking back on when my oldest son, whom is now a teenager, was really young. I had a few kids Bible songs cd’s. I am pretty sure that is how he learned how to spell the word Christian, from one of the songs. Though his favorite was, “Joshua fought the battle of…

   I watched a short clip of a little boy daring to do something bold and his father asked him, “aren’t you afraid of falling?” The little boy without hesitation and complete trust replied, “it’s okay Dad, I know that you’ll catch me.” This was a powerful statement.
