Therefore, I am giving you time served and releasing you." Grace, mercy and kindness, all in the confines of discipline. Sounds good.

I agree with Martha, consistency is key.... I have a feeling it's harder than it seems though. Already when my little Skeeter does that pouty lip thing, my heart just drops. And the little "waaa" sounds he makes sometimes just makes me cry. He's got my number already... God help me. Even God makes us experience consequences when we do something wrong.... no body is exempt .... we shouldn't allow our kids to think they are.
