My parents, they were good, godly people, but they never said, You need to write.

Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you." Eli to Punchinello (p. 25)

Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you. If anything costs you your faith or your family, the price is too high. Such is the point Jesus makes in the parable of the portfolio.

Vengeance fixes your attention on life's ugliest moments. Is this where you want to look? Remember: God dispenses perfect justice.

Immerse yourself in the curriculum of grace.

No one can teach your child like you can. No nanny, Bible school teacher, aunt, or uncle has your authority. What a phenomenal privilege is yours.

What I'm urging people to do is trust in the sovereignty of God.
