another Crook on the way

My sabbatical travels take me first to Mississippi. That's certainly intentional planning. For you see, my nephew Kaleb will greet this world in early January. And, if all goes as planned, I will be there to greet him on that day. The actual due date is January 13; but every time I talk to my family, they tell me they'll be shocked if he doesn't arrive before the end of this year. I'd love to share a birthday with him on January 5. We shall see. We will already share the name Thomas (my first, his middle) Regardless of when he arrives, please join me in praying for a healthy delivery for mom (Jill) and Kaleb. And OF COURSE you'll see pictures right here, right away!
