“The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home.

“The systems of stereotypes may be the core of our personal tradition, the defenses of our position in society. They are an ordered more or less consistent picture of the world, to which our habits, our tastes, our capacities, our comforts and our hopes have adjusted themselves. They may not be a complete picture of the world, but they are a picture of a possible world to which we are adapted. In that world, people and things have their well-known places, and do certain expected things. We feel at home there. We fit in. We are members.” PeopleWorldFeelsWellsMayHomeCertainKnownPositionHabitFitComfortTasteMembersCapacityTraditionDefenseExpectedCoreConsistentStereotypeWell KnownAdapted Author:Walter Lippmann

“I grew up in a remarkable home, the middle of seven children. My parents raised us well. They loved us well. We laughed hard growing up. But being the middle child, I couldn't figure out where I fit in the home, whether I was the youngest of the older three or the oldest of the younger three. When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some bad decisions about who I hung out with, I dropped out of high school, got kicked out of the house.” KnowsWellsChildrenMadeHardHomeSchoolYoungThreeHouseParentDecisionGrowing UpGrowingMiddleFiguresGrewFitGrew UpHigh SchoolRaisedSevenDesperateRemarkableLaughedHungBad DecisionMiddle Child Author:Tullian Tchividjian
“When I was a kid I didn't feel like I fit in because - this is really silly and I probably shouldn't say it, but, I didn't think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn't think anything was funny. I couldn't laugh.” ThinkingFeelsHomeKidsUsedStepsLaughingCryMomDadFitMy MomSillyStep Dad Author:Courteney Cox
