I had to come to Jesus' moment that...

There were some things that one of my children were going through, one of my kids was going through, and it reminded me of what I had escaped as a child.

And I'm wondering, what is that message for you? Could you get it down to a word or a phrase, like the big core of the wound you're talking about for you?

12:35

12:35
So the older you get, the more you appreciate God's grace.

12:46
I had no idea that living in a high stress, violent context was not normal.

12:53
I love my family.
