You're innocent! Enjoy it

By Charles N. Filbert

I REMEMBER THE FIRST time I went to camp as a young boy. After arriving, the campers were all examined for athlete's foot. I had no trace of this condition. I was devastated. When I returned home, I was almost in tears. I told my mom, "I'll never grow up to be a good athlete, because I don't have athletes' feet!"

Such innocence. Not only did I not know the name of this infection, but I was also free from any fear of it. Throughout my childhood, I had a growing sense of God's great love for His children, and a growing understanding that God, good, is the only reality. The Bible and Science and Health were the basis of my spiritual education.
