I am taking a break from my series on “Writing in Truth and Love” for the opportunity to introduce you to the newest member of the Moore family.  Calvin Montgomery was born at 3:26 a.m. the morning of April 17th.  It has been much more work than we ever expected but much more fun as well.  I am so proud of my wife for her focus, determination and perseverance in labor and delivery.  We also could not have done it without the help of our amazing L&D nurse at Missouri Baptist Hospital.  Those nurses work so hard and have a very difficult job.

I finished my letter to Cal the night before he was born.  It was eight pages long and I plan to give it to him on his 16th birthday.  My wife and I are also putting together a journal that we will present to him at some point later on in his life.  Our prayer is that we will realize how blessed we are to have a child, knowing that not everyone is so lucky, and that we would not take him for granted - especially when times are tough.
