But really, you know, you look back on it, she was building character, and this is not right.

This is awesome, so keep doing it.

And I've always been appreciative, and like Jep said,

She had a gift, I think, from God to value all people, which later on in life, you know, I'm trying to figure out the Bible for myself, studying it, and that us being made in the image of God, and I mean us as in all humanity, I got to see that lived out before I even discovered that's a major point in the Bible.

We're all made in the image of God.

Because you'd see these people, they were just broken, seemed like they had nothing to offer.

And I'm like, why in the world is she spending so much time with you?

And just loved them and just asked them questions.

Yeah, I'm really thankful.

I mean, when you see a person, they just had zero prejudices at all and really love people, whatever their economic spectrum, political, whatever sinful acts they had done.

And that is very rare in our society.

We tend to put people in categories.

And I'm just thankful that we were raised in an environment that valued all people.

Yeah, I want to talk about that.

It echoes another theme of the Bible, which forgiveness, grace, mercy, it's all a two-way street.

And you have strange verses like, who has forgiven much will love much.

And you really saw that because our dad was a professional sinful person for years, and we all saw that.

But I think that's what it always went back to.

He just remembered that.

I mean, it's like there's no way I can be forgiven for all this, and yet he was.
