dirty diapers and discipleship

Joy to the world! The Lord is come!

...oh, and, uhhhh, we're going to need to provide this child shelter; feed him; clean him when he messes himself; look out for this child's safety; hold him when he's crying scared or in pain.... help this child grow in our community; and love this child, and his friends, even when they start acting out in disturbing and provocative ways; and compassionately tend to his broken, adult body. Can we do this together? 

Tryin' to keep it real this Christmas morning as we consider godly parenting and lifelong vocations of Christian discipleship.
