The other night during dinner, I mentioned something about wisdom. One of my children responded, “I would rather be a fool and alive, than wise and dead.” Before I could say anything, Theresa said, “I would rather be wise and dead. If I were a fool and alive, then I would commit sins like fools do.” Without missing a beat, my husband chimed in, “He who truly fears the Lord, has no fear of death.”

I love my family.
