Just to reassure any concerned readers – I do know that the answer is, as always…

JESUS

So why the court case*?

Because I believe that God wants me to experience his grace and display his grace and not just know the theory.

How can I underpin my parenting, and indeed my everything, with grace and not just put a big red rubber GRACE stamp over the case file?

Irony alert: I am also aware how dangerously close I get to berating myself on my poor grasp of grace, and urging myself to work harder at doing grace better.

How can I underpin my parenting, and indeed my everything, with grace and not just put a big red rubber GRACE stamp over the case file?   

Lord please teach me to drink deeply of your grace, not only in my parenting, but in the face of my blatantly frail grasp of your grace!
