• The baby is finally here!

  Some of you know that the younger pastor at my Church (Nic) and his wife (Alexi) have been waiting for the birth of their 3rd child, 1st son. They found out several months ago that he would be born with some challanges. They could see on the sonograms that at the very least he had clubbed feet and some problems with his hands.

  Nic was very good to put pictures and a daily journal on www.caringbridge.org. The baby’s name (and also the web site name) is jude elijah gibson. If you want to go on the site to see the new pics of the baby and/or read the journal, just type in his name (no spaces). There is no need to log in or anything.

  Obviously I never had a child with a handicap but I have worked with adults who grew up with these types of problems themselves. They are just like you & me, with the exception of not being able to move like we do and sometimes having some neurological problems. They love and care, hurt and cry, just like everyone else. And from some of the parents I have had the pleasure of knowing, they change our lives much more than we could ever change theirs.

  God has blessed them with this precious child and I don’t believe it will take these 2 long at all to realize how wonderful the blessing is. They are good people.  For those of you that pray, please keep them in your prayers.
