Here is yet another small collection of quotes…
“Not about me being happy, but me being holy.” Gunny [Church Discipline]
“Conversion doesn’t excuse a life of rebellion and sin.” Piper [Hebrews: Listen Here]
“Hooray for the book of Hebrews!” Piper [Hebrews: Listen Here]
“What about a quote from me?” Amy [Online audio not available]
Here are the pictures from today. We are super excited!!!
Amy and I had a Doctor’s appointment on Friday and everything checked out great. It was a pretty quick visit, we listened to the heart beat then Dr. Gillian talked to Amy about a few things to expect during the 2nd trimester.
So…the big question is: Boy or Girl?
At 13 1/2 weeks we had a special sonogram where the Doctor indicated that he thought we were having a girl. Apparently this guy is supposed to be about 99.5% accurate (so the nurse says). But At 16 1/2 weeks, the regular sonogram guy said “it was still to early to determine the sex.” We both are confident the baby is a girl but we will find out for sure at our sonogram on Wednesday.
Last week was a great one for quotes, both from the conference and and our guest preacher Elliot Green.

This week Gary, Chad Barnes, Pastor Gunny, and myself all traveled up to Minneapolis for the 2008 Desiring God Pastor’s conference. Some of our favorite pastor/authors are John Piper and D. A. Carson, so any excuse we can come up with to go and hear them speak we take. Desiring God has all the conference audio posted for free so go check it out. They are all good, but if you ask me, I would start with Carson’s sermons. Gunny has posted the top 10 things I look forward to about the conference on his blog. It was a great trip and I can’t wait to do it again in the fall for the 2008 National Conference. Our flight home was canceled so we had to hop-scotch home from Minneapolis to St. Louis (and delayed 2 hours), then St. Louis to Dallas, then Gary and Chad had to drive back to Tyler that night. Ah…the joys of traveling!
In case you didn’t know Amy and I have two cats: Chief and Emmy. It is always amusing when we give them a bath so I thought I would give ya’ll a glimpse.
Emmy was first….
Then Chief…
