This is worse than Christmas!….

I have always loved Christmas.  And I have always loved (and hated) waiting for Christmas to come around.  Well, my wife and I are expecting the birth of our first child a mere 2 weeks before Christmas and waiting to meet your kid for a whole stinkin’ 9 months is far worse than waiting for Christmas.  But, then again, it’s awesome fun too.

It brings up questions:

What will he/she look like?

What will his/her personality be like?

Will he/her like me?

Can I really parent?

Will I screw him/her up, or will I train him/her up in the “fear and admonition of the Lord”?

I tell you what, this parenting thing is a mixed bag.  On one hand, the thought is as exhilerating as just about anything I’ve ever felt before.   The only thing better than loving your child is loving your spouse.

And, in the manner of Tevye, on the other hand, I am absolutely scared to death of parenting our child.

Oh, may the Lord grant me the Grace I so desperately need!

We find out next friday whether we have a boy or a girl.  If you wanna find out, visit this here blog that night, and you will (find out, because I will post about it…..ya).
