Tries to look past the one or two little things that really bother him about their relationship because he knows his dad cares.

As we talked about those one or two little things, my only thought, and what came out of my mouth was this: Well, thank God your dad isn't perfect. Thank God MY dad isn't perfect. It was a revelation to me when in High School someone told me my view of God was likely very much shaped by my view of my father. While the correlation wasn't perfect, I could certainly see some of the ways it was true. Later, it was even more a revelation to read Eph 3:14-15 ("For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named...

I have a horrible confession to make. I laughed at this.
I shouldn't have. It's terrible. It's sick.
I don't want to laugh at this. I don't want to think it's funny.
I really don't want to be disrespectful.
Forgive me....
