That being said... I tend to "forget" that Crystal is a pastor. I never really remember it until it gets brought up (like this thread). Instead, I think of her as an author, and greatly value what she has to say as a disciplinarian/child expert. Nevermind whether she's a pastor or not I still appreciate what she has to say about kids and discipline. Frankly, it doesn't really matter. When I come here asking for questions about discipline and my kids, I'm not thinking "ohhhh now she's a female pastor, ignore her" I'm thinking "ok here's a good point, that's a good idea, I'm glad to hear that my kids are normal "
