MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 03-11-2005

Just a quick note. You may have heard the Jaws-inspired phrase "We're going to need a bigger boat." Well, we're going to need a bigger van. Why? Well, my wife may be carrying twins. That's right, TWINS. How cool is that? We won't know for sure 'til we can afford an ultrasound, but based on her symptoms, compared to prior pregnancies, it's a definite possibility. I am, of course, rooting for twin girls, which would balance the numbers nicely (3 boys and 3 girls). Anyway. I was driving past the place where I spotted that conversion van the other day, and it hit me – 'If this is twins, a conversion van won't be big enough". We would need 8 seatbelts, and a conversion van only has 7. So, I guess it has to be a passenger van now. Now, some of the eugenicist, population control types out there may be tempted to think, "Six kids!? Have they gone mad?!" I, however, feel honored that God would potentially entrust not one, but TWO sets of twins to us. Pretty slick. Good thing we're going to a country where large families are still considered good, and children are rightly regarded as God's blessing.

Anyway, that's all for now. Pray for us.
