Ouch... "God dammit Tommy." Mom and dad always told him not to leave his toys on the floor. I love my little brother to death but sometimes he makes me wish I was an only child....more times than not, the little guy's ok. If only mom and dad can teach him to pick up all of his Lego blocks. Thankfully they're out of ...

Perhaps not the right place but there is a pretty great trilogy by Ted Dekker which delves into this topic. I forget what the trilogy is called as a whole but the books themselves are Black, Red and White.
