We are at 34 weeks and counting ...

49 and PREGNANT!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh! Woooo Hoooo!


Yes, I'm 49 and pregnant...

Well, my wife is the one carrying the baby... but we're both “expecting!”

At first we were shocked... we were happy with our situation... 2 cats, a new job, a new house, 12 miles from the beach, healthcare. Thank God for the Healthcare!

We were only 3.4 years into our matrimonial state of bliss, although we'd known each other for just about 2 decades, but that's another story... later.

From the beginning of our adventure together with God, we asked that our lives would count for Him on a daily basis and He proved that in many different ways, and now we've been handed a tremendous personal responsibility...

To care for a new life, to guide this little one's growth and help it find the narrow path that leads to life...

Excitement, Joy, Trepidation, Hope, Faith...

We are in the zone now, this little one could arrive at any time.

What are we going to do with a baby?” I'm asked semi-regularly.

We're going to take care of it!” I reply. Sometimes I break out into a Looney Tunes reference “we'll hug it, and squeeze it, and call his name George.” but that's just my trying to be funny.

We ARE going to pour into this child, and love him or her (that's right, we're waiting), and pray, and laugh, and make mistakes, and learn, and enjoy this Great Adventure God has carried us on....

Till next time.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

New King James Version (NKJV)
