It's a downright shame that anyone should squander their freedoms as you apparently do. The fact that he'll never know what a blessing it is to be within a church body or hear a challenging sermon or be raised to desire a dedicating of his life to this nations military is a sad thing indeed. I pray you see the error of your ways and raise your son in a way that honors the Lord. God bless you nonetheless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25635043.post-7642287791616379392011-09-27T00:29:31.155-04:002011-09-27T00:29:31.155-04:00I'm sure your son will be proud of you when he...I'm sure your son will be proud of you when he grows up and reads this blog.

Greetings from Trinidad in the Caribbean ...Hi Joel,<br />Greetings from Trinidad in the Caribbean and the Caribbean Catholic Blog.... <br />Congratulations on your new family member. I am sure your wife is enjoying each new day with her passenger. For me it was so surreal. I think I was in a daze, wondering what would happen next. Even now I look at my 4 kids and think.. well ok! I'm a dad.... other times I look at them and marvel, "Did I do that?" but not like Erkle would say it ok? And always I wonder if I am giving them a good example and hope that they would turn out to be good christians and good other things too. "Unborn child" from Dan Hill, "Julie through the glass" from Carley Simon, "Daniel's Song" from Loggins Messina, would always bring tears to my eyes when I hear them and think of my children. <br /><br />Loved the letter to your son. God bless you and your family man!Caribbean Cahtolichttp://caribbeancatholic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25635043.post-10594448209159005682011-08-17T13:44:58.781-04:002011-08-17T13:44:58.781-04:00Beautifull, JJ.
