The Image of God in Man: A Call to Responsibility
When I was a child, I wanted to be a “grown-up.” During adolescence, the idea of being mature came to my attention. Accompanying this was the notion of being able to take care of myself. Later, I wanted to live in a responsible, productive way. I wanted to be a man and not a child….
Growing Up: Moving Beyond Milk to Solid Food
