Read MoreI recently heard a great story about a grandfather walking with his grandson on a trip through the woods to go fishing. At one point on their trek, the grandfather looked down at the little boy and asked, “Where are we?” The grandson looked up and said, “I don’t know.” Then the grandfather said, “Well, how do we get back home?” Again, the little boy answered, “I don’t know.” The grandfather chuckled, “Sounds like you’re lost, boy.” The little boy looked back up at him and said, “I can’t be lost. I’m with you.”
