Baby #3, aka "Charlene Darling" is here. She is heatlhy, happy, and we are delighted with her. God has truly blessed us.  She has a head full of hair, was 7 pounds at birth, and is such a good baby! She was born last Saturday.

 However, I had some severe complications after delivery and was near death. I appreciate your prayers for us that you dear friends have continually offered. I know they were heard.  I am taking time off from blogging and other things because I have a long recuperation ahead.  Our family would appreciate your continued prayers for us.

Thank you for lifting us up to the Lord Jesus--we are praising him for his promise in John 10;10---

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
