Last Friday, 4/19/24, we were blessed with a 14th grandchild, a boy weighing 8 labs and 21 inches long. May God bless the child and his parents in raising him.

Beloved of the Lord
Jedidiah by name
May God bless and afford
Wisdom and godly fame

Know God’s salvation soon
And serve Him with fervor
For Zeal is a great boon
Mixed with truth and ardor

Beware of a false zeal
And man’s empty wisdom
Of pleasures that appeal
And every works system

Bind truth and love to you
A warrior for the right
A freeman, Francis, true
At peace, yet fit to fight

My wife and I had a long weekend with family, the first since Thanksgiving because of sickness, finances, and business.

I have 6 grandchildren when you count the one due in September. Following are pictures of five of them, four very recent and one several months ago. For you or I months or even several years make little difference in a picture, but little ones change so fast. I think several things draw us to little ones: They are growing and changing so fast, they are generally happy and curious, and they learn new things all of the time. The feeling of connection and posterity also make them very precious to grandparents. I pray regularly that God will keep them safe and grow them strong in body, mind, and spirit.

The pictures are in order of age, the first one with her uncle belongs to my daughter who is pregnant with her second. The other four belong to my oldest son.
