Very cool. I do have a question/comment and I hope that you will not find it attitude-filled; just curious. Can you clarify for me how someone can be "open-minded and progressive" in their thinking about Biblical submission. For me, the mere presence of the word "Biblical" leaves no wiggle room. It is what it is. I think of God's word as relevant for today and accurate beyond measure. Those things don't seem to mesh with open-mindedness and progressive thinking. Please explain. <BR/>As the soon-to-be grandma, I would offer this completely unsolicited advice to you and your darling husband: stay open. I don't mean in an "all night, 24/7" kind of way although, with a newborn, that goes without saying. Let me clarify. Someone (I honestly don't remember who) once told me that you change so much in the time between high school graduation and age 25 that you're practically not the same person. I can only vouch for my own experience, and observation of my own kids, but I have found this to be true. The same is true for the whole "before delivery/after delivery" of having children. What you say you will do and won't do becomes much more flexible in the bright light of day-to-day reality. Don't get me wrong; I applaud your courage, ambition, ideals and having a goal for your family. I just want to encourage you to remain pliable in the face of a life that is never going to be the same again (or for any two days in a row, even). Thank God!<BR/>If you can do that, you will spare yourself much, but not all, of the grief that new and old parents alike experience on a daily basis.<BR/>And in case you're doing research for that book (couldn't it be non-fiction?), I'll give you my survey answer. I would have stayed home with my kids all day, every day from the very beginning if given a chance and actually did make that decision when JW was a baby. Finally. You and I, we are different in so many ways and so we won't make the same choices. But we love lots of the same people and that makes me happy. Love you.
