““God gives us these raw, little people, and we have to form them and mold them and teach them how to operate in society.

It's those moments when I realize I have to extend grace to Caroline as she figures these things out by trial and error in the same way God lavishes me with mercy, even as I make the same mistakes over and over again.””
