The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

Hello Lauren, Brance!
Haddie is just adorable. I think she looks like both of you. I enjoyed looking at the photos — keep them coming — I will log on every now and then to see if you have some new ones. By the way, I got the web info from Jackie at Dr. Brandau’s office when I went to pick up my contacts.
Enjoy every minute with your gift from God — she is precious and she will grow up sooooo fast.
Christian Love,
JoAnn & Bob
