Joyous Birthday Wishes

This day, 14 years ago, I gave birth to my second child. For three days, this daughter of mine remained nameless, Wes and I struggling to agree on a fitting name. Finally, when the time came to fill out the official birth certificate form, we negotiated an agreement: Abigail-"my father's joy"- agreeable only if the middle name was Faith.

Wes was convinced our baby girl would not like the name Abigail, and thought Faith was a great back up name for when she expressed this inevitable disdain.

It's funny now to imagine calling our sweet Abbee "Faith." Our sweet Abbee who now stands 5' 8 1/2" tall and is too old to be comfortable with my disclosing her weight!

The grin she carried plastered upon her face as a toddler is still intact. It blesses me daily.

Abigail has lived up to the name that spoke of joy. She not only delights the heart of her father, but fills her mother's heart as well. This joy bundled up in one Abigail Faith is contagious! Her laughter often erupts, lifting a mundane day and spreading to all those around her.

Happy birthday, my precious Abigail Faith! May your fourteenth year be extraordinary as you continue to mature into the beautiful young lady God is shaping. And may the joy you exude continue to bless all who are privileged experience it!

    Yes, science can be a belief system which includes in it dogmas, inaccuracies, contradictions, unknown elements,
    assumptions, theories stated as facts, and can be intellectually restrictive by
    intentionally ignoring information and queries that challenge what science believes it has already "proven" (constants).

    What also annoys me would be the theory frequently touted by "scientific people" that the abandonment of
    religions and spiritual "beliefs" will result within
    the acceptance and proving that Science is the
    only reality and is therefore "universal" truth.

    Top 5 Assignment Writing Website in Australia: This post is about the top assignment writing website in Australia. Assignments are an essential part of the academic curriculum and they also contribute a whole lot to the final grades. This is what makes them so important and this is why we must ensure that we get good grades in the assignments. I see numerous websites that provide assignment writing services online. However, there are very few who offer quality content on time and who also provide guaranteed plagiarism free writing every time.I believe that when we are availing online assignment writing services it is very important to be sure that the person who is going to write the assignment understands the specific requirements provided by the professor and marking rubric. This ensures that the solution provided by them helps in securing maximum marks.
