Dennis ... quit playing with the lights!

If I had thought of it, I might have yelled that last night as the power came on and off in fits and starts.
Right before my wife and I tried to get some sleep, I turned on a ceiling fan at the switch to get ready to turn off the light while the power was out. Just as I turned the dimmer switch to the right, the power came on again! Freaky!
Other than that, we fared well from the hurricane.
We're tired and will probably get some rest soon but our little corner of the globe made out OK.

Yesterday, we got another internal glimpse at the baby.
Ok, our daughter. :) It couldn't get any clearer than it did this time.
Yes, I held out some hope for a boy. But our overall desire for a healthy human being is coming true, thank you Lord.
Now, I'm taking a look inside myself to see why the gender might be an issue.
I guess I'm a little scared of being the father of a girl - all the stuff I don't know about being one and don't want her to become (haughty or manipulative, for example).
I'll guess I'll do what I know is right, ask the Lord and others for help and pray she becomes an incredible woman of mercy, compassion, strength and leadership. Yes, leadership, even if that leadership is quiet and selfless in its influence.
Guess that's it for now.
More later.
