"Be Fruitful and Multiply"

In Genesis 1, after God created man in his image he told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.  Then Adam and Eve sinned against God and were kicked out of the garden.  After that Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel.  They were the first children that were born on Earth.  Abraham and Sarah wait a hundred years for Isaac.  Zechariah and Elizabeth give birth to John at an old age.  Mary gives birth to Jesus as a virgin.  Throughout the Bible the Lord blesses people with the gift of children.  He continues to give people the gift of children today too.  According to Psalm 139, Jesus knits us together in our mother's womb.  We are very excited to share that Jesus is knitting a child inside of Ashley!  The due date is in mid-April.  Ashley is about 13 weeks along.  We'll try to keep the blog updated on how things are going.

Death by Love

I recently purchased the book, Death by Love by Mark Driscoll.  I would highly recommend checking this book out.  You can read a chapter of the book if you go to http://relit.org/deathbylove/
