My sweet Granny’s hands are frail, her skin pale and worn with time. Her eyes are full of patience, and her hair is white with years of wisdom. The heart within her chest beats with the rhythm of salvation, and the blood within her veins pumps with the sounds of grace.…

The word radical, for me, typically drums up images of leaving all I own to travel overseas, having a large ministry, or a platform of some kind.
