76: Two Girls Born

I’m writing to announce the birth of two girls! One was born this morning, and the other was “born” 31 years ago on this very day.

Jazaniah (jaze-ah-nie-uh) Grace was delivered today at 8:08 a.m. She was 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 inches long. She has lots of dark hair and is as cute as can be. Both Kathleen and Jaza are doing well.

Interestingly, while rummaging through some misplaced memories a few weeks ago, I stumbled across a page that had been torn out of a Bible that had belonged to Kathleen’s mom. It was the page reserved for recording important dates, and the only item recorded was “Kathleen accepted Christ - Sept. 19, 1975.” Today is Kathleen’s spiritual birthday!

This is very fitting as Jaza is named after Jaazaniah from Jeremiah 35. Jaazaniah was commended for obeying his forefather, so to us the name “Jazaniah” represents generational faith!

John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
