Hello Baby.

(A video to listen to, while you read, enjoy)

Hello baby.  I want you to know before you read any further that I love you with all of my heart!  I also want you to know that I would and will lay down my life to protect you! I also want you to know that over the next several months as a marriage and other things transpire that you will be the victim of scrutiny.  Don’t you worry though I am going to do my job as a man to protect and shield you from any and all scrutiny.  Know with all of your heart that I will not listen to naysayers, I will not listen to critical people, I will not listen to people who do not have our best-interest at heart.  I will not listen, for a second, to anyone who says a negative word about you.  You know why, because no matter what anyone says it was not a mistake, by any stretch of the imagination that you are now in my life. You matter to me, you matter to the world, and you matter to God.  Furthermore to the people who speak bad words to or about you, they are the ones who do not matter.  I believe in fate and it was nothing but fate that put you here in my life.  I also want you to know that the people who are reading this and still think that I am talking about your mother, Josie, are now shocked.  Shocked mostly, I’m sure, because they didn’t expect you to come so soon.  Didn’t expect your mom and I had enough love to do this.  Well let me let you know that I love your Mom with all of my heart, all of my soul, all of all I got.  I also want you to know very early that your mom always always always will come first.  She came into my life before you and she always will come first.  Don’t confuse that however that I Love you more than anything on planet earth, second to your mom.  We found out officially that you were on your way, on Tuesday, January 15^th, 2008 and we are so pumped up and excited for you to make you arrival in just around 8 months from now.  We don’t even know if you are a boy or a girl but what we do know is that you are beautiful, you are full of life, and there is a world out here that your Mom and I cannot wait for you to experience with us.  It will be a world we protect and shield you from but a world that will fully embrace you, we will make sure of that!  I also want you to know upfront that your life WAS NOT AND IS NOT a mistake.  In the Bible, it says you are a gift from the almighty God I cannot wait for you to learn about the amazing grace that God, Jesus Christ, has for each and every one of us.  He is forgiving and has forgiven your Mom and me a multitude of times.  I pray for your health and your salvation daily.  I pray right now that you will find your calling on earth and do well in the eyes of that God guy I am talking about.  Baby good luck to you and I’ll see you in about 8 months.  By the time you read this I am sure we’ll be flying around in cars or something neat like that.  

 Thank you to each and every one of you who read this.  Josie and I are amazingly excited for the pregnancy of our little one.  I expect to be judged by some but I won’t listen to anyone who decides to do so.  Either you’re with us or…Well that is the only option because there aren’t places in the life of our family that aren’t supportive of a gift from God.I am Coach.
