Yes, we had a birth in the family.
He came in at a whopping 20 pounds and 19.1 inches!
Delivery was painless… and by Purolator. Both mother and baby are doing well.

Thirty in Thirty
Okay, it’s time to take this blog bull by the horns.
I’m setting out on a quest…
Thirty new posts in the next thirty days.
Yes, you heard me.
Now, I’m not promising profound, and I’m not committing to classics. But I’ll be here for the next month, shooting off whatever ammunition I can scratch up. They’ll likely be all over the board, but hey… that’s the stuff you find when you’re wandering and wondering.
And just to show my commitment to the goal, I won’t even count this weak post as my first one!
A Morning Prayer
From St. John of Kronstadt…
I just may have needed to read this on this particular morning.
A morning prayer, O God!
Creator and Master of the world! Mercifully protect Thy creature, adorned with Thy Godly image, in these morning hours: Let Thine eyes, millions and millions of times brighter than the rays of the sun, vivify and enlighten my soul, darkened and slain by sin.
Deliver me from despondency and slothfulness, grant me joy and vigour of soul, so that with a glad heart I may praise Thy mercy, Thy holiness, Thy boundless greatness, and Thy infinite perfections, at every hour and in every place.
For Thou, Lord, art my Creator and the Master of my life, and to Thee Thy reasonable creatures every hour ascribe glory and praise, both now and for ever and to ages of ages.
Amen.
So go, my friends, and start your day on those notes.
