Imagine my delight to read this post on my darling wife\u2019s blog<\/a>. It was very kind, slightly cheeky, and brought real joy to my heart. It is easy to feel disconnected from the real world while at a conference. But just in case I needed a reminder of the fact that my real delight is back at home with my family, the surprise of seeing such lovely words from my delightful wife was more than adequate.<\/p>\n

Family really does come first for me, and so should they. I am so thankful to God for Andr\u00e9e and for all she does to enable me to do what I do, and to care for the precious five children. I hope that being here will help me to be a better husband and father when I get home. If I didn\u2019t believe that, I would not be here right now. I look forward to seeing them real soon!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
