Jacksladder: I'm far from being a theologian, but I see that you are hurting and seeking answers. Your perception of God has been seriously tainted by bad theology (Calvinism). Why dose God bring us into this world of pain? This is one that no one can answer, really. Or perhaps a deeply...

Oh, wow! I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats!:clap: I just recently realized you got married. Congrats and many years for that, too.:) I'm preggers with number 2 at the moment. I'm 24 weeks now and I've hit the hungry-most-of-the-time stage. I tend to not hit that until around now...

[Psssst....I'm expecting number 2 in early March...] Congrats, Rus.:) Children are a blessing regardless of age or circumstance. God will take care of you.

Congrats! She is a beauty!:)
