Let's do some thinking

Hi Guys and Gal
Lying in bed this morning, I was thinking about how to make it easier for you to generate some discussion on the blogsite (assuming you might want to) while I am otherwise engaged these next few weeks.
Since all of you are parents and have raised at least one child, I thought I would pose a series of questions that you might consider, and hopefully some discussion material might pop out at the end.

Do you love your kids?
Do/did you ever discipline them?
Why?
What is/was the purpose of your discipline?
How severe is/was your discipline?
Does/did it ever stop?
When?
Does/did it achieve its purpose?

Does God love his children (the people who populate his earth)?
Does he ever discipline them?
Why?
What is the purpose of His discipline?
How severe is His discipline?
Does it ever stop?
When?
Does it achieve its purpose?
