One of the greatest inventions of our time is the recliner. Let’s be honest electricity and the phone are nice but what are they without a comfortable place to enjoy them from? In college I had an old recliner I had bought at a church yard sale. I know it was old because the base was a stone slab and I don’t think they used those for a while. Yes, my recliner could withstand gale force winds. I still miss that chair and I’ve wanted another one ever since. That’s why I am excited to announce the “The Deal”.

Tiff and I just bought a new recliner! Hooray! It currently lives in our living room where it will reside for the next year before taking its rightful place in my “Man Room.” Now some of you are wondering what Tiff gets out of this deal. Well last time she was pregnant she had a hard time sleeping while lying flat and sitting in a reclined position was the only way she could rest. So this time the recliner will help her when she can’t sleep. But after this new kid thing is past my man room will at last have its crown jewel. What a glorious thing to behold.

It is at this point I feel I should perhaps back track a little. I feel that some of you may have been distracted from the glory of a recliner by this baby talk so let us review. Tiff is pregnant with our second child and is due in mid-June. We are obviously very happy and even more so after getting good early reports from our doctor saying everything is going well. We’ll find out what our little person is in a few months and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping for a boy but I’ve long ago excepted that my thoughts on what is best pale in comparison to the all knowing gracious hand of God. And besides I’m already getting a recliner out of this deal…what more could I ask for.

God is everywhere.
