I looked and it has been almost an entire year since my last entry. This, of course, is according to my master plan. For it is a well known fact that when one has constant delusions of grandure, it is best to rest from time to time. Anyhow, there are many things new in our lives over the past year. For one, my wife has found it entertaining to point out the three gray hairs I have grown recently. This , naturally, could be expected from a spouse uncomfortable with her own chronilogical advancements. Also new is a strange, yet painful, fetish she has developed for plucking out my wild eyebrow hairs that seem to be a never-ending cause of irritation for her. This seems strange to me, as I do not quite grasp the fascination one has with another persons follicle annomilies when said annomolies have no bearing at all on that persons well-being what-so-ever. Oh well.........the mysteries of a woman are indeed a deep and dark place I choose not to venture into. For those familiar with my pultry butchering horrors, you will be glad to hear that since my last posting, I, along with some friends, succesfully butchered a whole bunch of chickens, a goose and ............a turkey. It went well and I am happy to report that none of my children will be in need of therapy this time around. Speaking of children, the most exciting news is that we are expecting triplets. We are adopting two children from Liberia and a third child from Liberia is now with us. She is a beautiful girl that has brought as much joy and happiness to our family as each of our other children did when they were born. The good Lord brought all these children into our lives and into our family and I am literally in awe of what He is doing. Soon our other two children will be here as well and we will then be a family of eight. If anyone is considering adoption, I must reccomend that you seek the Lord and allow Him to lead were He leads and be prepared for a life changing experience. Of course, there are those that would attempt to disuade you and bring to bear all the possible risks involved or all the horror stories they may have heard and as a result have all sorts of horrendous things to opine about concerning Liberian adoptions, but don't let that get in the way of God's leading, if He is indeed leading you that way. Much could be said about the children from Liberia and the problems that some of them may have. Some true and some probably not true no doubt. The point is simply this; who cares??!! If God says so, then what does it matter. Just do it. Besides, as far as these children having some baggage goes-just pick up a book on just about any country in Africa that has been torn apart by civil war; Sudan, Sierra Leone, Etheopia, Rwanda, Somalia Ghana, Liberia etc. Gee, ya think some of these kids might have an issue or two?-Ya think? All the more reason they need the Love of God to be poured upon them by a family that has the love of God. That's why God may have chose you. So anyway, don't get too discouraged by any naysaysers you may run accross-and there is no shortage of them-Just show them the same love we're talking about here. And if they get really outrageous-well then, just enjoy the pure lunacy of it all because I am sure you could use a good laugh. In the end, just pray for those people in however the Lord may lead you to pray and show patience and grace as well. In most cases, you can be sure that thier motives are good and they mean well. I'll get some pictures up soon so all can see the beautiful creation that is God's children. In the meantime, I wanted to just say hello again after some time away and give a special hello to those nice people in the Potato state, whom I effectionately refer to as the Potato Heads, who remain my inspiration to continue to seek after God and to view these precious children through the eyes of Jesus. Thanks guys!! May the light of the Lord shine brightly upon you! |
