Oh, what we parents would give to be able to say such things. I think of Kate Bowler’s conversations with her son, how she writes of speaking too soon in assurance, and afterward says to God, “Don’t make me lie for you again.” The stuff of heartbreak.
Thank you for testifying to the true. For all the hurt, I hope we never numb out to our shared humanity.
