As with most everything I seem to get into, I’m honestly surprised that days and weeks will go by between posting here. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think, “man, I really should blog on that…†We’ve been challenged by a number of great messages and teachings on the Word lately and I’d like to work through those. I keep random thoughts on my phone as they pass by, probably 10-15 thoughts that I’d like to work through. And of course, I’d like to discuss more of what God challenging me to in each day.
But, while I don’t seem to get the time for those things, one thing I can do is point you to a great story of faith and love. My mother-in-law spent almost two weeks with us leading up to and after Lia’s birth. I can’t remember exactly how she knows about this couple and their story, but every day she was here she’d check in on this blog to see the progress of what was happening. The blog I’m about to point you to is kept by a husband who’s wife has Cystic Fibrosis and their amazing journey in just four short years of marriage. She is now awaiting a double-lung transplant and delivered their daughter at the beginning of January at barely 25 weeks old… 15+ weeks early!! Their story and his passion for sharing it is inspiring to say the least.
This post is fairly recent and it’s two videos he made to be shared at a banquet for what I assume is a local Christian Pregnancy Center. They had asked him to come speak but he declined to go onsite so that he could be with his wife and daughter. In leu of his appearance he recorded this videos.
Men, I’m pretty sure this is one of the best pictures of faith I’ve seen.

You’re right – the faith he shows is outstanding. How can humans endure these things with such hope? The Holy Spirit fills us in every way…
Thank you for your always-provoking and inspiring words.
Thank you!
