Yes, four less folks to muck up the world with fear and unthinking-ness. And to think there was a time I felt the usual guilt for "neglecting" to give my children some concrete religious upbringing. They thank me now, and so do their contemporaries who do not have to fear them - they are lovers, not fighters, not abusers, not controllers, not on automatic pilot with a mouth full of bible and a thieves heart.
So in the end the best thing I did as a parent was what I did not do, and as a family HEART is our greatest part.
And I have a bump or two, but am infinitely freer as I move forward - with a recent (yesterday) relocation from an address of several years - gladly facing the unknown and planning to "CREATE the Masterpiece" as has been suggested. Thanks again for that directive.....
