Do you believe in Miracles? I do, just yesterday I witnessed the miracle of life, right before my very eyes. I'm also praying for a miracle for Bob J and his daughter Rach.

For the past 8 months my wife and I (along with our 2 children) have been enduring a very very difficult pregnancy, in and out of hospital, countless IV's, extreme sickness to name a few of our hurdles, with hopes that in the end we would have our 3rd child.

Well, I'd like to introduce to all my OLF friends



As you can see, she was born yesterday afternoon. She is 3 weeks early, but very healthy and strong. Momma is doing well too.

We are at home already (only 24 hr's and the give you the boot) and resting.

We have indeed been given one of the best Christmas presents there is.

Congratulations, Rod!  That truly is a wonderful Christmas Present.  The Gift that keeps on Giving, so to speak.  Just hope she doesn't always give it at 3:00 am.

CONGRATULATIONS, Rod!

She's beautiful! If I had the PhotoShop skills, I'd put a guitar in her hands. Looks to me like she's strumming a Gmaj7th. I'm sure she struck a major chord in your hearts.

Note to Kennedy, and Kennedy's momma and daddy: Sleep when you can, then rest, then take a nap...

Dennis

This will be a very special Christmas.

Wonderful picture of a darling girl.

Miracle, you got that right Rod.

Tell your wife she makes 'em pretty.

And tell that little redhead daughter hello from Arkansas too.

Congratulations and blessings to the entire True family...especially Lianna and Kennedy!!! I feel really close to this little one because of all the concern we had while she was in the oven. She's a beauty, Rod!!!

So when are you going to post this year's Christmas song? Could you make it even more special than last year's...maybe have just one more Rumbeer before the recording session!
