Finding the Balance

This is sort of a controversial topic. It's a health issue, and a little more important than I, til recently, gave it credit for having. Finding the balance, is difficult, so I would like some other opinions on the subject. I'll try to tread lightly. When I went out to Ohio, on our way home, I met my wonderfully healthy Aunt, carrying her bottle of water and her ginger chews. I was awestruck at her spirituality and beauty. I had already been prepared by the Lord to learn everything I could from her, on matters of health, or rather, what we eat. I was not expecting to be spiritually challanged like I was, but I was. There are some conclusions that I have come to, and some questions that should still be asked. In our modern day America, obesity has reached an all time high. Children are not concentrating in schools, nor do they have discipline at home. Health care is terrible (as far as affordable) and it seems like every time we turn around someone has cancer or some kid

So we polluted our way up the Neckar to get a closer look at the castle. I don't think Ben knew I was taking his picture. What an awful picture of me, but I wanted to announce that John and I are expecting our first in January. I'm about

Details

Usually I'm pretty good at this update stuff. Ya'll know that. However, it's been a rough week. So here are some of the details and prayer requests concerning our new arrival. Right now Keane is sleeping soundly, which is a first, details to follow. What a precious boy he is. I never thought I could love someone so much, instantly. My water broke Sunday late afternoon after a nap. After doing everything twice and running around like headless chickens, we finally got out the door. Labor started right away, it was pretty hard for me. I had great aspirations about no epidural, but around four o'clock in the morning when I found out I was just reaching 4-5 centimeters, I asked for one to help me get a little rest. It didn't work. I had a double dose and could still feel just about everything. I remember telling John I would never do this again, and hitting him (not very hard) in the stomach when he told me to breath... and then giving him a hug. ;) I said t
