I can say that I am good at math. Since my elementary days, math is my favorite subject, and I believe I have not got a grade lower than 88. I even “conquered” algebra, trigonometry and calculus with ease. So, at first I can’t understand why my son has a hard time dealing with math. The explanation given to me by his teacher is that “he is afraid of numbers” – just like some of us afraid of heights, afraid of spiders, afraid of water, afraid of being alone.

“My life remains in Him, forever
For He kindles my heart with joy everlasting.”
All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.
