RADICAL STEPS

Richard Howard

You can call him what you like—impetuous, brash, outspoken—but once he recognized the Christand heard that command,he did what the others didn't—he stepped out onto the water and walked!He didn't wonder, he didn't worry, he didn't wait—he didn't even look to see if the others were behind him—he just climbed out and walked.
