Every so often a series of thoughts come together in my heart and in my head that capture what I honestly think and value most in life. Listen to some of these messages.

Support

In order to do full time ministry at Iowa State, I need help from people who realize that young people are open to the truth and will be the bearers of that truth into the next generation. Because of this, many people support me financially to do what I do. Find out more about how you and I can partner together to reach future missionaries for Christ.

The number of the day is 6

Posted by Tim :: Family News

So I set the kids up for their almost daily routine of watching Sesame Street. As I did so, I heard that the number of the day was 3. I then sauntered into the office and informed Kristen of the number of the day.
To my surprise, she disagreed. "The number of the day", she said, "is 6."
"Why 6?", I said, "There is nothing inherently significant about the number 6 other than: it's the first perfect number, the second smallest composite number, a unitary perfect number, a harmonic divisor number and a highly composite number, AND, last but not least, it's the numerical position that I held among my siblings. Besides that, there's nothing special about six to make it the number of the day."

Feeling fully satisfied by my intellectual thorough (though totally uncalled for) response, Kristen confidently and calmly replied, "I am pregnant."

I guess 6 is a special number after all!

* special thanks to Wikipedia for it's help with the number 6.

I guess there was a reason I felt moved to increase my monthly support over the weekend. Congrats!

Thank you so much Joanna! I'll chalk that one up to God as our need for extra support had increased before we even knew we were expecting.
