Yesterday my oldest son Elijah and my middle son Caleb were outside enjoying time together in the snow. They were building a snow fort.

Elijah announced very emphatically that, "I am NEVER going to play with you outside again!!!!!", and he stormed off to his room. Caleb was hurt and standing there naked and so I instructed him to get dressed. As I prepared dinner the Holy Spirit brought to my attention the fact that Elijah was not going to forgive Caleb.
