Introducing Daniel John Branken...

Well friends...Great news from the already large Branken family is that we are now even bigger. Daniel was born last night (31 May 2007) at 10:15 pm after no less than 26 hours of contractions (although the active part was only about an hour and a half). Trish was as brave as ever and successfully gave birth to a 3.16kg, 50cm Branken boy who is healthy and strong. Praise God!

It is interesting that each child has got smaller (Hannah 3.5kg, 57cm; Rachel 3.3kg, 54cm; Jordan 3.2kg; 52cm...and now Daniel). We are really delighted.

9.   For the forgiveness of our sins
10. To provide the basis for our justification
11. To complete the obedience that becomes our righteousness
12. To take away our condemnation
