Adopted Child!

One of my axiom's that I throw around a lot is "Words Matter". I'm a words person. My love language (see Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages) is Words of Affirmation. I like crafting words, shaping arguments and presentations, etc. I LOVE to write.

But I still find that words are imperfect...or at least I'm imperfect at communicating with them.

So, a few weeks ago, I said, from the stage, that Susan and I were adopting a child from Moldova, and I went on to say that I'd be sending money every month, etc. What I meant to imply was that we were sponsoring a child by sending money every month through CERI.

But since then, people keep asking my wife, Susan, when our adopted child will be arriving!

So, Words Matter...if I can use the correctly! :-)

We are not adopting a child, we are sponsoring one! Sorry for the confusion.

(but the whole thing has brought us many laughs!)
