a special thanks

A special thanks to all of you who wished Erin and me well on the birth of our first son, Jude Thomas.  I know that so many of you sent emails, texts, facebook, and twitter messages congratulating us and asking us how we're doing.  We're doing great.  Erin is up and around, almost like her pre- C-Section self, and Jude (for the most part) is sleeping well.  For your prayers, cards, gifts, and well wishes... thanks.

Here's a verse from Jude (the Bible book, not my son) that I hope will get your week off to a good start.  It's the same verses that I'm dedicating to my son:

24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
