My sister gave birth to my nephew Joseph yesterday. I haven't blogged in so much time, I'd forgotten to let all you people whoever the heck you are know that my life has forever changed! Well, not really. I haven't even met him yet. Yes, I'm a heartless old fart. "How could you forsake your only child!" Yeah, whatever. I'll meet him when I have a reason to. I'd prefer not to have to visit him at a hospital. My sister had a terrible time. He was supposed to be born on the 19th, so they put her in something called "induced labor", which still took over 24 hrs to get done w/. Luckily, she's still alive, but she's got some wounding from the process --- the dude's 9.5 lbs!!! --- and the doc wants to make sure the antibiotics for the wound are fully absorbed and do what they're supposed to do before letting her back into the MUST DO HARM segment of planet Earth.
My sister probably has much more intense and detailed blogposts you can read. As for me, I just hope the little interaction I do have with him in the future will not steer him away from The Lord's desire for him. I hope this is the beginning of a happier chapter in the Cardwell/Stephens/Conway family tree.
You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous
