Just wanted to say thanks again for the prayers and generosity regarding our new born baby. He was born Jonathan Patrick last Monday \u2013 the 40th anniversary of the moon landing \u2013 at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 19 inches long. Jonathan and Mom are doing great. The three older brothers are equally thrilled. Thanks again for all the thoughtful and prayerful support during this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Lord, hear our prayers of petition and thanks!<\/p>\n
