Still no baby! - Freedom?

So Seriously ... Faith is ready to pop! She is still having contractions here and there and the nesting is about done, I think. A couple of months ago, she was always sticking my hand on her belly to feel a kick, hick up, or some little movement. And quite honestly, it isn't wasn't all that impressive, from a guys point of view. I kind of wanted the whole 'Alien' deal where you could almost see the facial features through the skin or something like that. But now, it almost feels like I can hold the baby ... he is so close, i can feel his every little movement. It is amazing and all we want to do now is just meet the little guy. I wife said that she believes it will be today ... on her mother's birthday. Only time will tell.

I made a comment in my last blog entry about not taking freedom for granted. I am convinced, we totally do and don't even realize it. We can share the good news of Jesus anytime we want with anybody without fear of death or imprisonment. There are those that are hurting and dying all around us and we would rather do anything but reach out to them. I remember an Instructor in bible school challenging us with the notion that had a choice. We could either make the choice to make Christ and the lost a priority now and stir a much needed revival in this country. We could do everything in our power to live an intentional life, to make an impact in the world around us, to actually pray and seek God for what we can do to fulfill His plan on the earth. OR. We can wait until we don't have the choice anymore. Until our freedoms are completely stripped away, until there is the fear of death and imprisonment, until we have lost our nation and we regret bringing children into the world for what it has become. Whether or not we ever see America fall away completely in our life time is not the issue, we are headed that way fast and I love my kids to much to not do everything I can to help change it. We are called to sacrifice our lives and to lay them down .... to fight the ferocious battle taking place around us for the souls of men. Let's make the choice to fight fo freedom now, instead of being forced to fight later.
