The First Time
I asked a young boy in my elementary class at church to ask the blessing over our supper. He said he didn’t want to do it. When I asked why he didn’t want to say the prayer he said, “Because, I’ve never prayed in front of people before.” When he said that I was taken...
Tasting Death

Fear and Size Relationships
With my working gloves on, I was moving around some large rocks from my side yard to a backyard fountain that I was building. I picked up one rock and there beneath it sat a creepy black widow spider. Without hesitation, I reached down and smashed it with my...
