Yesterday Allison Roark (former Bible study leader in Raleigh) had a little boy! She and Nick named him Elijah Luke. We have to only image the joy they are experiencing. Congratulations, Roarks!

Thinking about motherhood, I want to share a story from this past weekend. On Sunday after church we went to Quizno's with some friends. We accidentally tipped the table and hot chicken soup poured all over Rebecca's pants and the floor. It was a terrible scene, but I will never forget the servanthood that was shown by a family sitting next to us. This family goes to the same church, and I have heard wonderful things about the couple. But, when their two young boys (without their mom's prompt) jumped from their seats and ran to get napkins and got on the floor, sopping up the chicken soup, I was impressed beyond words. That these children would be so inclined to serve others to that magnitude was remarkable to me. What a God-honoring mother they must have! And as we drove home Aaron and I prayed that if God were to ever bless us with children, that we would raise such servants and be the Christ-exalting parents they are.
