Sweet.<\/p>\n<p>It was the usual. Lazy morning. Church. Home Teaching in the afternoon. A few walks around the neighborhood with the kids.

I can just sit there and get a moment&#8217;s peace and think things over.<\/p>\n<p>What else to say? As usual my mind is simmering with worries about the business. It almost takes a whole day just to lay it aside, like a farmer looking out over the fields from the porch&#8211; fretting over this or that.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow morning Tamie and I are going to the ultrasound to find out the health, status and gender of the baby. I&#8217;m super excited. We are getting along famously. In fact, our family life is quite peaceful in general.<\/p>\n<p>As usual,  I make my usual disclaimer: I am subject to similar foibles as any man.  My only intent is to uplift, perhaps, some sagging soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Sunday. Sweet. It was the usual. Lazy morning. Church.
