What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

This Is Headline News

The new year brought plenty of hopes and dreams and surprises in the Kirk household. Not the least of which was the discovery that in spite of all of our own best efforts, we are expecting another baby. Kelly went in for an early ultrasound last week and saw only one fluttering little heart--which was two pieces of good news all rolled into one.

We're guessing our due date is early September. Not the most convenient time in my line of work, but we look forward to it nonetheless.

After working through the initial shock, I am very grateful to the Lord who is always working to give us new life in so many ways. We look forward to the blessing that this little one will be to our lives...that is, after we deal with the inevitable first year of sleep deprivation

If babies are your thing, be sure to check out Kith and Kin for some cute shots of baby Honor Stokes!

Congratulations! How many people have told you that you need to get a TV? We've had at least five or six tell us that ... and I doubt that your "best effort" was employed in the avoidance of this baby.

thanks for all the love, people! and yeah, burly, I suppose we didn't exactly give it our absolutely best effort...
