Santa Claus isn’t the only fairy tale adults teach their children

Editor’s note: This blog is part of a series of first person essays about identity written by UTEP honors students during the spring 2013 semester. For as long as I can remember, we were at the church building every time the doors opened. Most families go to church once, sometimes twice a week. As the son of a Southern Baptist minister, our family was there a minimum of three times each week, and sometimes more often. Church life was part of who we were and a defining aspect of our identity.
