Lifestyle Changes Aplenty

Since our last update, we have seen Wife's parents come and go in a whirlwind visit that, though wonderful, was just too short! We all had a great time together. We also accomplished quite a bit. I think my parents had to go home to recover! Dad was terrific and installed a solar panel system. Which means - woohoo! We have power! Yes folks, we can now run our small electric appliances indoors. We are truly blessed to have wonderful parents. We also got the woodstove in working order thanks to mom and dad. This came in handy with a few nights where the lows were in the mid to upper 30's.

And just as we got the house winter ready we found out that we had been approved as houseparents at the maternity home / pregnancy help center we have been involved with. We moved in last night (we still maintain our real home and will go there on our off days). Our first resident arrived today and is currently settling in to her new surroundings. We would appreciate your prayers for the grace of God to sustain us through this time and figure out all of the ins and outs of this position.

Just today we were told the horrifying news that a friend of a daughter in law of a friend aborted her eight month old baby while her husband was out of town. everyone is devastated, most of all the husband who was very much looking forward to holding his little girl. The world truly is growing colder and more reprobate. We need to work now while we still can. My heart was grieved and my stomach churned at the realization once again of the horrors done in this country in the name of choice. Do you realize that at 24 weeks 90% of babies will survive with medical care? By eight months the odds are even better. All a baby does that last month is get chubby! I don't understand how people can murder an innocent like that and not think anything of it. Sorry for the rant...

Well, I suppose that is all for now. See you later!
