“I consider heaven and hell to be real…When I hold my daughter in my arms and she lets out a huge laugh. That’s heaven. But when a mother, seeking refuge from violence, has her son ripped from her arms, who is then lost by the United States Government. That’s hell on Earth.”  -Colin

“When I am unable to do justice. When I am unable to love kindness. When I am unable to walk humbly and seek out the cause of the widow and orphan. When my assemblies are worthless, and my offerings are meaningless. When I fail God. I need to acknowledge the failing on my part, seek forgiveness, and offer repentance, then, God’s divine love can shine through the dust I kicked up, because God’s grace has room for all our failings.”

Friends, this is an odd sermon to be giving on Father’s Day: a day when a new father like myself wants to simply to tout the love and joy of being with ones children. I started with “dad jokes” and ended with any parents worst fear, and it’s a rather jarring juxtaposition. But it is the juxtaposition that Laura and I have been living in the safety of our privileged bubble: finding ways to come to terms with life as parents of a newborn child, while other parents are finding ways to come to terms with life without their children.
