Another Boy

For those of you who read this and do not already know, we found out last week that we are having another boy. William will have a brother and we are pretty sure his name will be Tyler Augustine Grace.

With the growth of our family in such a short period (within 14 months we will have doubled in size) I have taken time to reflect on my duty as a Father and as a Husband. The world views of the cultures I have lived in, even the “Christian” ones, remain quite selfish. This is especially true in regards to families.

We have a tremendous opportunity to shape and encourage our families. It is my prayer that I shed any selfishness and be the man to lead my family, especially in spiritual matters.

If you have not already read Malcolm Yarnell’s paper on family worship then go here and read it. It is quite practical coming from a man who lives out what he says.
