If Grace Is True|Maturity Episode
Philip Gulley-We took the boys to Florida last week for spring vacation. Our previous spring breaks were spent in the cold in Indiana cleaning the house, so the boys would look forward to returning to school. But this year we set aside our traditional Hoosier conventions and drove our pale Quaker bodies south to the beach. The condo we stayed in faced the beach and had recently been renovated after a storm and tidal waves had filled it with water and sand. The ocean has many wonderful attributes, but self-regulation and restraint are not among them, so you could never quite tell what the waves would do. I watched people walk along the beach trying not to get wet, but then a big wave would lap in, and the people would skitter away like little Groucho Marx birds.
