So, this is life huh?


It's still gripping me how my daughter looks around and everything is new to her. I've tried more recently in my life to live like everything is new. I watch a sunset and say "Wow" only to hear someone say, "there will be another one tomorrow ya know?". I eat some ice cream and say this is so good, only to hear someone say "Ice cream is everywhere ya know?" But no matter...to my little one, everything IS new. Kinda reminds me of Lamentations 3:22-24 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.“ The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“ therefore I will hope in him.” Because God's mercies are new every morning, and because I hope in Him, my daughter has the same hope. :)

New addition to the Hooper's



Taylor Lin Hooper has arrived!!

8lbs 10oz; 20 inches long...our little angel came into this world on Saturday, July 2, 2005 at 3:46 am (yes...A.M.!) It's so amazing to watch a child being born...everything is new for them. Every sight, sound, taste, touch...all new. Made me think...what if I could start over? So, I'm a daddy now...my wife is a mommy...and life has just begun for us. Thank you Lord for your answer to our prayer... 1 Samuuel 1:24
