Kathy and I are embracing the New Year with the excitement of our first grandchild; Ava Violet is due any day now.

It is interesting to me that the Scriptures compare the Return of Christ with both a “thief in the night,” and, a woman about to give birth.  No one knows when Christ will return, just like no one knows when a thief will come, and, no one knows exactly when a baby will be born.

So we will continue to patiently wait for Ava, and, patiently wait for Christ’s return.  In the meantime, we live our lives the best we can, putting our absolute trust in God.

Happy New Year!
