Faith is like breathing for most kids. It takes faith to believe in the things we can't see, but as we grow older, faith can feel unfamiliar, and distant. As we grow up, and life happens, we often come to the understanding, certain ideas we once believed to be true, and without question, were nothing more than fables and stories, handed down from one generation to another. Santa Claus? Birthday Wishes? Just a couple of the ideas kids are willing to accept, like we trust the existence of gravity.
