Passion for my family

I got to hold Jamie today for quite awhile. We even fell asleep together! In the last couple days I've felt a great closeness to my family. Keep watching Jamie get bigger and bigger. I watch my wife as she goes through the process of becoming a teacher. (It really is a process). I'm excited for her.

What all is she going to experience? She's already the head of the English department at her school and people are amazed at her composure: so young and not even nervous about the first day of classes. I think she's going to amaze people. God has made her one of a kind. She's the genuine deal and that comes across to the people she's around. I just hope she doesn't let some old bitter teacher steal her passion. I know she's in Good Hands though. Our Daddy is watching out for her and is ready to carry her through everything. I'm glad I get to be God's instrument in her life sometimes.

My thoughts about Jamie are similar. I realize that there is so much we can put into each other that bends and molds our view of our world around us, either for the better or for the worse. I know I do both. I could never do enough good to outweigh the bad. (None of us could). I just hope that Jamie grows up with a mommy and a daddy, who never stop forgiving each other because they know of the forgiveness they received.

I love you Kristine. Thanks for journeying with me!
