First Word – Remembering Dad
A Father’s Gift My first Bible advocate wasn’t the magazine. I’d seen it around the house growing up, but I didn’t pay it much attention until later in life. No, my first advocate didn’t come to me on paper but in a person. My dad. From my earliest memories, I watched him reading his well-worn […]
