We start week 7 of the pregnancy-to-birth process this week. We contacted our local midwife and got some nutritional advice and encouragement. We'll be setting up our first appointment with her in only a few weeks. It's nice to have safe natural alternatives to the "hospital operation" form of childbirth. I wouldn't wish that process on any living being - let alone my wife!

We had a nice quiet weekend. We got together with friends and family for a couple of gatherings. Saturday night we had the joy of blessing a newly married couple from Jersey who were on their honeymoon in Virginia Beach. On Sunday we fellowshipped with the brethren over a wonderful noon dinner meal where Jesus was central to our thoughts and discussions. It is wonderful to share my life with family and friends who believe and live with Christ as Lord.

I was disappointed to hear this morning on the news that J. F-ing Kerry got a boost in the polls from the debates. Folks even say he won the first debate. I'll have to watch more to be sure but the 5 minutes I did see showed a very tired 'W' Bush (who probably worked all day as our President before going to the debate don't you suppose!) trading a very civil discourse with his opponent.

But that's the risk you take when you enter into debate with your opponent when you are ahead. And while 'W' may have won on the issues the presidential elections are about personality and style – just ask Clinton who's name alone evokes images of his personality whether you LIKE him (and her) or NOT.
