Well, I'm back, after being home with some friends for a few days, who just had their FIFTH baby!!! Aiden Matthew was born on Wednesday, October 17th, at 1:48 a.m., and was perfectly healthy! The Mom said it was the easiest (deserving!) of the five so far...
He weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 19 1/4 inches long. He has little dark blue eyes, and little bit of light brown hair...
As I write this, the great mood I'm in is still quite apparent. I took a whoel role of film this weekend, and have been showing pictures to everyone...I hope to have them scanned soon, so I can post them here, too...
Why am I babbling about this?
Because, as I held him for the first time, I realized just how strong my beliefs about the world actually are...here's this little, innocent boy, being brought into a very dangerous world--especially right now. What kind of life will he have? Be allowed to have? Will he fear more than he enjoys, or will the country reassure him that it will not tire...ever!
I'm not going to trivialize this, and turn it into a politcal debate. As you can see, I've used no details.
What I will say is this.
Check your priorities...check them everyday, and never be content with your present position. Think constantly about WHAT REALLY MATTERS? And don't let it slide!
In thought, as always,
