center of life
At our house bedtime reading ranges from the “just so stories” to the encyclopedia,
from “Mary Poppins” to the Bible, depending upon Billy’s interest.
And always there are the questions. “How high are the stars, Daddy?” “Where did the
dinosaurs go?” “Daddy, did Adam love Eve?” “What makes electricity spark?”
How challenging to watch the alert mind of a youngster mature! I know I’ll have to keep
on my toes with new ideas in every field, if I want answers for Billy as his questions grow
more profound.
Os one thing I am confident, the age-old truths of my church and the Bible never change.
Integrity, responsibility and the love of God are a source of strength now as in every age.
I have no qualms about teaching my son that God’s Church is the center of a man’s life.
