Life lately

I just quickly wanted to say "Thanks!" to Judy for updating my blog layout. Looks great! :)

Well, aside from both Paul and I having strep throat, life has really been pretty fun! I've been able to spend a lot more time with Sophie because of the holidays. It was really such a blessing! Sophie has just been a happy and wonderful little baby. And, for the first time last night (since about 2 months ago), she slept the whole way through - until 6:30! Yay for Sophie! Let's keep it up! :)

We haven't had youth group for two weeks, because of the holidays. So, we're looking forward to getting back with the kids this week! We're about to do a "girl / guy talk" in the coming weeks. As much as we stress how important it is to save yourself for marriage, these kids just don't seem to see the real importance of it. As I've said before, about 95% of the youth kids come from the projects. They come from broken homes, and most of them do not know what it's like to be raised in a Christian home. So, they're not taught "save yourself for marriage." They're taught "save yourself for someone you love." How many teenagers know what that kind of love really is? God help us! Please be praying for us. We really want to get through to them the importance of staying pure until marriage. Also, their image, self-worth, and other topics.

That's about it for now. :) Hope you all had a great Christmas and new years! Happy 2009!
