The real story that we celebrate at Christmas time requires the whole Bible to tell. It’s the story that we’ve spent most of our life being a part of helping others tell… I’d love to write that it’s a short, simple, everybody’s-happy at the end kind of read. It isn’t. But you should still read […]
Anyone else feel like while 2020 went very slowly, 2021 has been trying to do double time to make up for it? I know that March was just 3 months ago, and maybe it seems like this BECAUSE WE’RE in the, “Hurry up and wait mode.” But it just seems like I’ve had so much […]
This update ranks up near the top, as far as my Top 10 LEAST favorite ones to send… And yet I will preface this with, it’s also yet another time that God’s graciousness and mercy has been shown to us. So, there’s always that side of tribulation in this world to look forward to! My […]

We made it into October, and Josie was going back to school. Tamara was really beginning to enjoy the last few months of pregnancy, feeling good and getting set to make things baby-ready. Then she said she’d had a headache for the last couple days that she couldn’t get rid of. So she went in […]
Just wanted to drop a post to officially notify you that Ezra IS now sleeping in this house. We brought him home from the nursery yesterday, and he has been VERY busy adjusting to life at the Mathew House since then. WE are all SO grateful for each one of you! You have all been […]
Ezra Henry Mathew was brought screaming into the world at 1255 today. This is a good thing, I’m told, since he was 8 weeks and 4 days premature. He’s working with prematurity and RSD.
