Telling the next generation
BY DAWN REED “Are you serious?” I nearly shrieked. “Surely there is someone else, someone better.” My mind was blown. An assistant position had come open in the youth Sunday School class, and my beloved thought I would be a good fit. That was me a long time ago; I hadn’t taught youth in 20…
