It appears that when you sound like Barry White, no one wants you around. The office doesn't want me around and my customers are telling me to stay away until I sound better. I feel alright, but I sound pretty bad. So I simply talked to a few customers on the phone yesterday until my voice almost went, I would go from a baritone to a high soprano in a single sentence. It is kinda frustrating.
Last night Lori and I settled in on the couch for a night with a rental. We watched The Holiday which turned out to be a pretty good chick flick. Afterwards, I was flipping and came across Cheaper by the Dozen 2. I have to confess that I have always wanted a big family. I am currently praying for Lori to see the need for about 3 more children. OK, that is a dream, I am having a hard time convincing her to have 1 more. I know that a lot of you probably think I am crazy, but I just love kids and I like the thoughts of a full house. Not 12 like the movie, but 5 is a good number, its a basketball team and a prime number. Math Nerd. Anyway at the end of Cheaper by the Dozen 2 the wife says "you have to settle with the past, engage in the present, and believe in the future". Sounds a little like our christian walk doesn't it. The past is forever haunting a lot of us and I would venture to say that if we could at least get to the present how much better off we would be. God says in His word......."Do not fear", not once, but 365 times. That sounds to me like one for every day of the year. Do you think that a coincidence, I don't. Think about it.
Have a Blessed Day!!!

God Bless you!
Before my divorce my husband and I shared 6 kids. 3 were his by a previous marriage. I have to admit that my house seems a little lonely with just 3 kids in it now. I know exactly how you feel. More kids is more to love and more lives to impact. I miss that. No matter how many you have in your home to love remember there are many more that will come into you and Lori's lives that you will impact through your walk and your compassion. hope you get to feeling better!
