This is Life!: Revolutions Around the Cruciform Axis

The Fatherhood Chronicles LXXI

Of your charity, I ask your prayers concerning the following:

• For my mother, Miriam, who flies in from Wichita on Thursday evening: for safety and convenience of travel, and for a good time here with us and her granddaughter and (potentially born) new grandbaby
• For Anna and our unborn baby: that the Lord would grant perfect health and wholeness to mother and child and that both would see a happy and safe birth; the baby's due date is tomorrow, and it would be wonderful if the baby could be born while my mom is here
• For Sofie as she becomes the older sibling and all the matters known and unknown that accompany that life-affecting change
• For Anna and I as we strive to raise our children in the faith once for all delivered to the saints; and that our children would soon be brought to "the laver of regeneration" (and Anna and I to chrismation)
