We Are Outnumbered

When my wife and I went from two children to three, I began to realize something in the dynamics of our family had changed more than just increasing the number by one... Suddenly, life got a little more complicated... we were no longer in man-to-man defense, but were now forced to play zone. We had three kids now! I couldn't hold all my children's hands at one time when we crossed the street. And suddenly, I could no longer keep their names straight or even pronounce them correctly about half the time! Sometimes I even got the two cats' names mixed up! Was I losing it? Something else dawned on me shortly after adding #3--that God was speaking to me a lot through my kids. I think He had been doing so for some time, even when we only had two. But now for some reason, it was more evident. So, that is what this blog is about... what God is teaching me through my kids (and to some lesser extent, life in general). And sometimes what I see my kids doing and what I hear coming out of my kids' mouths hits me right between the eyes and I know it wasn't just them and some impulse... it was God-ordained.
