I am stilling the quote off of a friend's Facebook post.  Thanks Amanda for the reminder.

"My greatest mission field is my home, my marriage and my children - easy words to write, but hard truths to apply. It does not matter how much I do or how successful I am in ministry. If home and family are left with only the scraps of my time, energy, and emotions, I am walking in sin and disobedience. Discipline does not come naturally or easily. We will surely fail but we can always begin again." -Mary Southerland
