Tomorrow is the kids' christmas program at church. Michaelah has a star that Grandpa made for her head, and she does a knock-ou job with her lines... it brings tears to your eyes..

Isaiah is a shepherd...

they're so excited. I am too. The kids are so good on stage... I have always kind of dreamed that my kids would want to sing or perform on stage with me someday.... who knows!

As you can see by the pictures, she's here. Lots to say, but for the most part, I'm speechless. I've been through three births now (four kids though.. with the twins happening first) and everytime I see those little eyes look at me, and watch them take that first breath of air.. it just gets me.... more later... gotta get back to the hospital..

Well.. Zoe's been having a lot of contractions. It could happen this weekend!!!!! I'll keep you posted.

I am so happy with my job, with my wife and my kids...

but i can't help feeling a bit complacent...

i see how MUCH i have... i know, we're hurting a bit financially, the hour drive to work everyday on top of other expenses is killer.. and another little problem is going to leve us a bit strapped this month..

but i have a computer.. i have a home... i have plenty of clothes, some of them new... i have a car that runs... i have a few pairs of shoes... i have a television, a dvd player...

and more than that, i have dinner every night with my family....


There are people in this world who don't have cars, or computers, or enough clothes or shoes......

I personally know people who don't have a job, or a working car, or families to eat dinner with.


I am so tired of taking these things for granted. I'm so sick of running around feeling sorry for myself because I don't have Y or X, when I have every other variable I could ever need.


Spiritually, I have a Bible. In fact, I have dozens of them, and internet access to any version of the Bible I could imagine... and I have gotten to where I hardly ever read it.

there are people in this world who would sell everything they own just for ONE PAGE of a Bible in their own language.



I want to be grateful.... not complacent.
