I'm no Kate. . .

It's been an eventful month with birthdays, ministry and vacation. I have lots to "catch-up" on and look forward to getting it all recorded here on the Blog.

But, a friend passed on this article to me today and I said a loud "Amen!" There is a rarely a day where some well-meaning person doesn't comment about our family and make reference to "Jon and Kate plus Eight." Maybe it's the Filipino husband or the seven little ones in tow. . . . but we are no "Jon and Kate."

I could say a lot more, but I appreciated Elizabeth's words on the subject as well. Having only watched one episode it was all I could handle. I feel such pity for a mom who has sold her soul (and worse, her children and marriage) for wealth, fame, comforts, accolades and man's empty praise. I love my kids. I adore my husband. I am no Kate.
