Baby Jonas was born Monday morning at a birthing center in Pensecola, FL.

All went very well. By dinner time Monday, the whole family were at home in Valparaiso.

U-Haul arrival in Mpls

Well, I'm back!

Sandra held down the fort on the home front.
I was accompanied by; Dale, Evan, Seth, Brad (and Riley, Ryan & Rory), Dave & Carrie and of course Dad.

We got the important items; as far as furniture, clothing and kitchen items (food of course, as well...) packed and brought down to the Minneapolis area.

Evan & Seth were invaluable!
Evan has worked for some time for Quality Moving & Transfer in Edina, MN.

His expertise in loading a truck was proven. When I arrived home this evening, and opened the back door, all the items were still in the same spots we put them!

Tomorrow, I will unload the truck and set-up Dad in his new place.

"Moving Experience!"

This weekend we will move my father from his home in Northern MN., to a new apartment in Richfield, MN.

I (we) are renting a 26' U-Haul truck for the task. We had reserved the truck about a week and a half ago.

Here is the "mover beware" part.

I called on Thursday to confirm the rental and to order 18 moving pads as well.
I found out that they wouldn't have a truck for us at the location we chose.
The good part is that the U-Haul rental location was very proactive in helping us find one within close proximity.

I had experienced a similar situation when we moved Sarah's things to FL.
I had reserved a trailer, and had a specific pick-up date....but no trailer!

It is always best to call ahead and confirm!

I will post again to re-cap the events of the move.

BreakPoint Commentary
September 12, 2007

An interesting commentary by Chuck Colson aired on BreakPoint this week.
Here is a link to it: http://www.breakpoint.org/listingarticle.asp?ID=7036

I post this teaser below, and hope you will venture to Chuck’s BreakPoint website for an opportunity to read the full commentary. I believe via streaming audio, you can also listen online.

For the last half century, Western industrialized nations, fearing overpopulation and despoiling the planet, have made slowing population growth one of their top priorities. So now we are in the middle of what one observer calls a "global baby bust"—except, that is, among devout Christian families, those who take seriously the biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply." It shows that when Christians live out the biblical worldview, we not only survive, we thrive.

Sandra & I seem to have children with a "Christian World View", who are doing their part in this endeavor. Sarah & Nathanael are soon to have their third!

I hope my next blog post is a photo of the newest... Mosley baby!

Please pray for them, as they await this gift from above.

Photos from Florida

Meggan & Sarah are both "Ladies in Waiting".

I hope that is not a poor choice of words!?

I'm not that well read.

However, Meggan joined her sister Sarah in Florida this past Wednesday.

Sarah is due to have her third any day. They have had fun together, and Meggan has been able to be of help to Sarah and family while they await the new arrival.

It was our hope the the newest Mosley would be here by now, but the "womb weaver" (as Sandy & I have referred to our Lord in the past) has chosen to keep this new one under wraps for a bit longer.

On Tuesday, Sarah will visit her midwife for a check-up.

I've included some photos we received from Nathanael this morning.
