I have learned a valuable lesson watching grandkids climb trees.

 

People who are afraid tend to take their trunk hugging very seriously; they refuse to listen to the possibilities of life beyond their fear and they generally refuse to own-up to their fear. Most of the time the trunk hugger’s fear is covered by demands, outbursts, and put downs. They can talk about climbing skills and tell you about Tarzan, but until someone shows them how to take the next step they will remain comfortably unwilling to venture beyond their position on the trunk. 

 

My faith calling is to the adventure of “showing the way.” How about you? Not easy is it.
