Early Lesson in Faith

When I was a child...

...my dad was driving us to church.

It was a Sunday. And it was summer. We drove past the swimming pool, and saw a crowd of people there.

"One day we'll have that many people at church," dad said.

And I heard it.

His words sunk deep into my ears - into my very spirit.

And it came to pass!

That was one of my first lessons in faith.

"For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH" (Mark 11:23).
