OK, I have a theory - It has been really cold outside the last few days, so maybe lil’ JD is just really smart and senses that it is cold and realizes that it would be a favorable decision on his part to stay inside his mommy (Where it is very warm - 98.5 degrees to be exact…) until the conditions are more benefitial…
Ok so I am going crazy too! No sense in delaying my impatient thougths - I want to meet my son, there is no harm in admitting that, right?
Patience is a virture that cannot wait to be formed…
“I am sure that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1:6 (GN)
In all of our lives, there is always something that seems to be on hold. It is just important that you (Like Me) keep it in the perspective that God is in control and that He will complete what He started in each one of us… (Just as His Word promises…)
Thought of the day: WHAT GOD STARTS, HE FINISHES
I’ll keep ya posted and hopfully we will hear something when it gets warmer - I mean when He Finishes…

PS - Needless to say - We are looking forward to a Great Weekend!!!
PSS - The Other Warm Little boy pictured above is my son Isaac - He was to next best thing to taking a picture of Taryn’s Belly - which she strongly opposed

Still Waiting for Big Mr. JD to Arrive!!!
No sign of him yet today anyway, as I feel that 40 weeks of waiting 10 trips to the doctor and three trips to the hospital should be enough - one more trip is all it takes…
The Patience Building Saga Continues…
John 13:7 “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
2 Corinthians 1:9 “(This Happened)… So we might learn to trust, not in ourselves, but in God.”
Thought of the Day: When God Delays, He Knows Best!

Well it has been a rather exciting day at the Stine Home…
We have made a trip to the Hospital in hopes of meeting our newest addition to our family - Josiah David Stine (JD)…
After an exciting and wild ride to the Hospital - Dad’s You Can Appreciate! - We got Taryn all hooked up to monitors and watched excitedly as the contractions continued to get more and more frequent… Only to find out that we needed to go home so that we could come back in a few hours when the contractions became unbearable (Ouch!)
Needless-to-say, we are at home processing though the following scripture:
“These things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!” Hab. 2:3 (LB)
The waiting game is always interesting with God and it does not just happen when we are waiting for a child to be born, rather I have found that it occurs with any vision/dream that God has put in our heart. Much like a birthing process, it comes in God’s Time - Which is the Right Time…
Don’t know what you may be waiting for in your own life - but I hope this scripture encourages you as it has encouraged us as we wait not for our timing but God’s…
Blessings,
David & Taryn
PS - Keep us in your prayers…

I am having a Great Day! Psalms 118:24 states “This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Yes, I had a Great Weekend, Great Services on Sunday at Church, Great time last night hanging out with friends, etc.
These are all great reasons for me to have a great day, but they are not why I am having such a great day today… The reason I am having such a great day is that Taryn and Isaac are coming back in town Today at 2:26pm (which will be 6 days 3 hours and 14 minutes since they left on Tuesday.) I am so glad that they had a great trip in Louisiana with friends and family and the Women’s Conference that Taryn attended but I can’t wait to get them back home today…
Today is a great day for me as I pray it is for you as well. Afterall, it is the day that HE has made – Rejoice!
Thank God they’re back!
Bless You,
David

Tonite is a sad night for me… Tomorrow Taryn and Isaac are taking a trip to Baton Rouge, LA and I will be home alone for a few days… 
I am going to miss my lil girl and my lil boy!
I am glad they are going to get to see some family and friends though…
I am most excited about the main purpose for their trip. Taryn is going to a women’s conference at Healing Place Church called: Live The Dream. Healing Place is a great church in Baton Rouge and is actually the place that one of the most important encounters of my life happened - I met Taryn there…
The Pastor of Healing Place is Pastor Dino Rizzo and he was Taryn’s youth pastor and we consider he and his wonderful wife Delynn to be two of the best pastors is the entire country and dear friends…
I am so glad to see Taryn going to this conference as I can see her leading a huge Women’s Conference for DC Metro one day in the near future.
Go God! and Go Taryn!

We had a BIG Birthday to celebrate this week in the Stine Home…
Taryn aka - “My Punkin” turned the BIG Three-Zero on Monday! We thought about having a party and doing it up BIG, but instead we decided to just go out to dinner on a romantic (aren’t you scared now!) date in order to have GREAT conversation with each other…
We ended up having a wonderful night on the town and some “Great Conversation” (Parents, are you feeling me now?) Our topic of discussion was the highlight of the evening as I asked her to share her “Top 10 Greatest Experiences (Of the last thirty years of her life (OK her whole life)).” Let me just say, It was quite a “Greatest” list!
It was so nice to see how God had blessed my wife over the years (Did I mention?, 30, to be exact!) and to hear how incredible the “Top 10 Greatest Experiences” were.
Since then I have been thinking of my own top ten greatest experiences in life, and they are pretty significant as well. In fact, I feel rather encouraged everytime I think of them because it reminds me just how much God has blessed me!
I wonder, what are your top ten?
Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers (Sistas too), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatevesr is pure, whateveris lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things!”
Enjoy writing your own “Top Ten Greatest Experiences of Your Life”
Bless You,
Pastor David
PS - Happy Birthday My Punkin, This is just the beginning of your top ten list!!! (Thanks for letting me be on your list.)
PSS - Three of my greatest expereinces are in the photo above (Meeting Taryn, Being Isaac’s Dad, and Having New Baby Boy too…) More Greatest Experiences to come soon…

Two of the greatest people you will ever know at a party last year. Mrs. Taryn Stine (My Girl! On the right) and my assistant (Mrs. Linda Riddle, left). Linda is probabally going to hate this photo because it was taken right before she had her son, Luke, last December…
Thanks for all the both of you do in making today the greatest!
PS - > I am about to go see my beautiful wife Taryn preach in Celebration Women this morning. You Go God Girl! I am going to podcast her message for all who cannot be at Celebration Women, you will be able to check out her message on Faith under the LateNite podcast to the right…
Go T,
