Parental wisdom often comes wrapped in quirky, illogical packages that somehow still make perfect sense. From "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside—I just finished cleaning" to the classic "Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a truck," these sayings might not pass a logic test, but they've shaped generations of children nonetheless.
Join me in exploring how God teaches us through His Word and our experiences, encouraging us not with "goofy instructions" but with love, grace, and mercy as we grow into who we're meant to become.
