Two Years with Our Boy

Can you tell why these two are my favorite people?

I can’t believe I’ve been a dad for two years now. Spencer has been such an incredible blessing to us. And it was great to share today with many members of our family, and some great friends as well.

We celebrated “Spencer Day” simultaneously with Orphan Sunday this year. The live webcast was great. Steven Curtis Chapman was heartfelt…Dr. Sharen Ford was impactful…and Jedd Medefind’s couple of minutes on the stage were the best of the night. You could feel the passion and the love for children around the world coming right through the screen.

And then the numbers: 134 million orphaned children around the world. 130,000 waiting for forever families in the US foster care system. Every 18 seconds another child becomes an orphan. Every 15 seconds a child loses a parent to AIDS.

And my favorite statistic: it only takes ONE person to make a difference in the life of a child. You.

Did you watch the Orphan Sunday webcast or read about it? What moment, fact or figure amazes you the most?
