Dynamic Duo!! Thanks to Al Gore!

Batman and Robin.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Beauty and the Beast.

Starsky and Hutch.

Tango and Cash.

............................

And then there was.....Emily and Cameron!

Emily and I have been fighting through this journey together, as if we were fighting the Joker himself in Gotham City.  There is no one closer to the situation than your partner in crime!

Seriously though, we cannot do this without sticking together in Christ.  It's tempting to go about this journey fighting our individual emotions and personal battles, but it makes everything more tense, fragile, and rocky.  At first, we did not appreciate this and tried to deal with our own journeys out of fear that we would drag down the other spouse.  In fact, exactly the opposite is true!  When you face a struggle together, you end up feeding off of each others' strength, motivation, and need to help each other.  It has made our marriage so much stronger and more intimate.  I love my wife so much!  She is an amazing woman and I am so glad Al Gore invented the internet, because without him, I would have never found my wife!  And we would not be the dynamic duo we are today!!

Today, at church, we both had a very sweet moment while worshiping.  The song we sang was "From the Inside Out" by Hillsong United:
"A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul
I give you control
Consume me from the inside out
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out"

Lord, thank you for blessing Emily and me with Caroline Grace.   
And, Lord, please....please...consume us.  From the inside out!  Emily and I cannot do it without you.  We praise your name and give you the glory, God!
