Proverbs 29:15

"Parenting is your primary calling. Parenting will mean you can’t do all the
things that you could otherwise do. It will affect your golf handicap. It may mean your home
does not look like a picture from Better Homes and Gardens. It will impact your career and
ascent on the corporate ladder. It will alter the kind of friendships you will be available to
pursue. It will mean that you can’t develop every interest that comes along. The costs are
high."

Tedd Tripp
