Birth

Last night I played music from about 10 to midnight, so as a result, I didn't get to have movie night with my family. It's just a night where we get to eat in the living room, and watch a good movie. But I didn't get to be there, and an interesting discussion happened. My wife is pregnant, due Jan. 15, and my 4 yr old son was inquiring of my 6 yr old exactly what was gonna happen during the birth.

He asked, "How does the baby come out?" Sara was in the kitchen at the time, and overhears the conversation.

So he asks how the baby comes out, and Simeon told him with assurance that they cut her tummy open and take him out! (Little false teacher.) Elijah, being accustomed to Simeon makin' stuff up the he doesn't know (like his dad), had that skeptical look on his face, and says, "Nah....I think the baby just comes out of her mouth."

I had a good laugh at that this morning, but it reminded me how radical that day is going to be. How that we don't hear a peep out of the baby now, but there's going to be an AMAZING DAY when "all waters gonna break loose!" This little bump I feel in Sara's belly is gonna spring forth into to a new world, and it will surely be a radical day.

You know with all of those in Christ, they too had a radical day. Dead in our sin, then one day, made alive in Christ. It's radical. Free from sin! Free! A clean conscience! Hallelujah!
