“In a very real sense, parenting is one long process of revealing who you are. And usually that is not pretty.”
― Justin Whitmel Earley, Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms

“The tension between our failure and God’s grace is foundational to the Bible, so it needs to be foundational to our parenting. First, on our failure. Given who we know we are, it’s silly to imagine that once we have kids, we’ll get mature and stop being so sinful. Parenting, by itself, doesn’t make us less selfish. On the contrary, the first thing it does is show us how selfish we really are. And yet, in our failures, grace abounds!”

“If flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom, that is not because they are too solid, too gross, too distinct, too “illustrious with being.” They are too flimsy, too transitory, too phantasmal.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“Do you not find it happens very often, that you are as gay as Garrick at dinner and then by supper-time you wonder why God made the world?”
― Patrick O'Brian, Master & Commander
