I am very pleased to report that I am the proud uncle of a new niece. At 3:11 AM on Wednesday morning, Olivia Grace Anne Thompson was born to my dear sister Cherie and brother-in-law, Mark. Congratulations Mark and Cherie. Praise the Lord for new life!

With the new birth of Olivia to Cherie, and the recent announcement from my sister Christie that her family has another little blessing on the way, I have crossed that threshold of numbers that every uncle dreams of crossing -- double digits. I am now an uncle ten times over. Praise the Lord for His little blessings!
