David Whitcomb's reflections on daily life, readings, viewings, hearings, and feelings, my dreams of things to come, and a hard and good dose of reality. Monday, May 01, 2006. Blessings abound in the new life brought into my life via my wife's womb - soon to be delivered in the late summer.

Life stories continue to collect...
