Learninggentleness

We actually have gone through A LOT within the last three years re: our church situation. We were going to one church a couple of years ago, left for several important reasons, went to another church for a year...and left because of a huge transformation in what we learned about biblical interpretation and a big growth spurt in understanding doctrine (the previous two churches were wrong in many of their teachings). Then, we found this church a year ago and have been going to it ever since and we LOVE IT. The people are amazingly loving and welcoming to us, the teaching is so grounded in scriptural truth, and much more. BUT, this spanking thing is a thorn in my side. It hasn't been an issue too much with me and other mothers yet...well maybe because I am relitively new to GBD...we'll see. My husband and I still feel extremely blessed to be at this church though.

I will continue to get grounded on why I do not believe in spanking and other punitive behaviors. I want to know all the reasons why inside and out, AND I want to grow in my skills as a GBD parent. It's going to be a long process though
