It was a question I couldn’t answer as much as I pondered it over a series of days, leading to weeks: “When did you first realize that you had become a grown-up?”.

Join me for the rest of the story over at BibleDude.net where I’ve just become the content editor for Living the Story. It would make me smile to see you there in the comments on my inaugural post in my new role.

Appreciate that you popped over to read Lynn. Wish I knew why you can’t comment over there.
