Sophie Update

kids

What a difference a day makes! This morning it was truly touch and go with Sophie’s breathing, and tonight they are already considering putting her into a normal room because she has made a complete turn around. Praise God!

Apparently being large has its perks! Fortunately, Sophie gets her girth from her mother, rather than having a girlish figure like her dad…(not sure why Shannon is laughing hysterically as I type this.) Anyway, they said that due to Sophie being bigger and stronger for her age, she was able to put up with junk where most whimpier babies would throw in the towel. So hear this all whimpy babies of the world! Sophie’s coming for you…wait sorry…that makes no sense. Anywho Sophie is doing much, much, much better and, Lord willing, we could possibly be home by the end of the week.

I cannot possibly express how greatful we are for the bazillion prayers that went up on Sophie’s behalf. We were in tears most of the day reading everyone’s comments. Thank you, thank you thank you. God is good! Please continue to pray for her safe recovery

Amazed by Him,
Bart

Ps I am going through serious Sam, Gracie and Charlie withdrawls. Daddy coming home soon kids, and he’s bringing the good times with him!

Mr. Mom…Or How DOES She Do It?!?!?!

mr_mom
Seriously…
Abby leaves the house for a few hours to go get her hair cut and swing by the grocery store…doesn’t sound like a big deal, right???? Well the other side of the coin is that I am now in complete “charge” of the kids…hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! that’s funny, huh? This blog is only to praise my wife. She does this ALL the time when we’re out on the road. We don’t have family close by, and aside from the folks at our church pitching in from time to time, she is all alone in this.

I can’t make it 4 hours without wanting to pull out my hair and lock them all in their rooms and curl up in the fetal position in the bath tub….frightening imagery, I know. She never complains about it…it is her joy to do. i love my kids, but I have decided there are reasons why men are “the hunter/gatherers”…basically, I’m a horrible homemaker. So here’s to you Abby….the most AMAZING, WONDERFUL, PATIENCE FILLED WOMAN on the earth!!!!!! I love you.

"Finally Home"

finally_home1

Hello everyone.  We’ve got a project for you.  You like projects don’t you?  Currently “Finally Home” is number 21 on iTunes (Christian & Gospel), but we’d love to see it get into the top ten.  And you can make that happen.  You knew where this project was going didn’t you?

You might say, “But MercyMe, I already bought “Finally Home” on iTunes and am listening to it and loving it as I read this”.

And to that we say, “No problem, just buy a copy for every last one of your friends”.  See, I’ve already bought my 8 copies and sent them to all 8 of my friends.  It’s simple.

There it is.  The gauntlet has been tossed.  Let’s see if we can get “Finally Home” into the top ten.

Go here to accept the challenge.

Also, this is the final week that you can get all of MercyMe’s CD’s on iTunes for only $7.99.  We’ve had this going for a little while now, but wanted to give you one final opportunity to grab those CD’s at a lower price.

That’s all for now.  Thanks for all your support.
