I've been convinced (and convicted) that I was not going to spank my kids for a long time. That belief became stronger over the past 6 months.

Initially, DH wasn't on board. He was spanked as a kid and didn't see anything wrong with it. Slowly, his heart has been changing...his mom sent him an email apologizing for spanking him as a child, expressing feelings of shame at doing so, and discouraging him from spanking his own kids.

Fast forward to yesterday. I was talking to DH about the abuse/death, and how the Pearls recommended using plumbing supply line. I read to him off their website about hitting 6 month olds for tossing food.

And he thought it was sick. And he told me to stop reading their website because it was just going to make me angry. It was the final straw in crumbling his remaining defenses regarding spanking. I think his heart has changed!

Although that little girl's death was a tragedy, God used it in my DH's life and heart....
