Did you have a sense of wonder about life and about God as a child?

Many humans do...but this doesn't always endure.

The book of 1 Samuel allows us to follow a number of people from their childhood until their death.  Like us, they go through life's ups and downs, both inspired and dejected at different points.  These stories -- character arcs -- offer us the chance to reflect on how faith changes over our lives.  As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we focus on the "call" of Samuel, when God gives him a mighty word to speak, even though Samuel is only a child.  Will Samuel's sense of awe continue over his life?  We ponder this together.
