In this brief dialogue, Speaker B reflects on the imperfect nature of his parents while affirming that, as entrusted earthly guides on behalf of Christ, they have been right in guiding his decisions. He connects this parental role to the Christian sacrament of baptism, describing it as a foundational step in his spiritual journey. The conversation then moves to the continual process of working out his salvation, emphasizing a persistent, personal remembrance of God's restorative and redemptive character. The tone is conversational and reverent, expressing hope and gratitude for divine guidance through both family and faith practices.

Honestly, my parents are humans and they will get it wrong at times, but when it comes to decision making with me, they. They have been right. You know, when like, okay, let's see about guys and my dad, I'm like, wait, boy, I know he's gonna be right. My dad is gonna be right. You know, when he was. She probably was
like, she probably was wrong. He was
right. So. But yeah, you know, because they were entrusted parents. I entrusted y' all appearance, you entrusted as earthly guides, you know, on behalf of Christ. So, yeah, and that was baptism. And throughout there was fights and a fight and a fight of working out my salvation continuously. And even in my secret place, continuously remembering who he is, how he restores, how he redeems. Amen. And who he is as God.
Amen, man. May we grow into people or be people, live as people who are children say the same things of right. They were not perfect, but they were obviously united with Christ. What more could be said? What more do we hope for in this life, right, than for our children to see a real picture? Because whenever the Lord says our time here is done, whatever we have left them with is all we get to tell them on the matter, right? Like, and you will have wanted to fill them with the truth. And so really cool that even today you can look and say some of those things were hard and maybe even some of those things were crappy, and maybe they didn't get everything right. And the Lord blessed them, and the Lord blessed them because they tried, they tried to submit and. And walk in his way. Well, Lord, bless them.
