Ron: So this guy runs up to me at one of my stepfamily conferences and asks, “What do I do about the ‘D & R’ tattooed on my forehead?”
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Now, trust me there was not a tattoo on his forehead. He explained. He said, “Do you remember the story of The Scarlett Letter? About the woman who committed adultery so the community put an ‘A’ on all her clothes so everyone knew what she did? I feel like I have a ‘D’ and an ‘R’ on my forehead: divorced and remarried. And everyone knows it and they look at me like I’m a horrible person.”
“Oh,” I said. “I hate it when people do that. Because the truth is we are all sinners and we all need a cross. And maybe, just maybe, Jesus changed the meaning of your tattoo to delivered and redeemed.” For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
