Paternal Hiatus

“Paternal hiatus”… that’s what I’m calling my recent absence from my office and blog.  A long story cut short, my then pregnant wife was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and put on strict bed rest several weeks ago so I checked out to attend to her and our 2.5 year old son.  The pre-eclampsia developed into eclampsia and necessitated the delivery of our second child  5 weeks early.  We now have a beautiful (thanks to her mother) and healthy baby girl and both she and my wife are now doing fine.  I thank God for both.  Since the birth of our daughter, I’ve spent a number of my sleepless nights thinking (as I always seem to do) and will publish several posts based on my recent thoughts in the days to come.  I thank all of you that reached out to my wife and I during the past couple of months.   We greatly appreciate your kindness and support.
