You can climb too high for your own good. Linger too long at high altitudes and your hearing dulls and your eyesight dims.

Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.

Our kids were God's kids first... We tend to forget this fact, regarding our children as "our" children, as though we have the final say in their health and welfare. We don't. All people are God's people, including the small people who sit at our tables.
