Twins for the Coutts!

Congratulations to Angie and Jon Coutts on the safe delivery of twin boys! Here is, in Jon’s words, the details:

—————

I’m proud to announce that my wife Angie bravely gave birth to twins yesterday morning! (That’s Thursday, November 20th). Here are the details:
 
~At 3:08 am we were awoken by “water breaking” and were at the hospital in Edmonton by 4 am.
~At 10:05 am the first twin was born naturally: a 6lb13oz baby boy! His name is Jesse Ransom Coutts.
~Shortly after, although it felt like a long time after, they determined that a C-section would be needed. I was ushered out of the room and the place was chaos and Angie battled through and by 10:28am the second twin was born: a 6lb8oz baby boy! His name is Mattias Gabriel Coutts.
 
Both babies are healthy and adapting to life on the outside quite well. Angie is recovering, but it takes some time. She’ll be in hospital with the babies until at least Sunday. If you are the praying sort please pray that her lungs recover as there have been some questions about some pain in her chest that they’ve been trying to take care of. Things seem optimistic but you know how it is.
 
Elijah and Brady are excited about their new brothers, and are handling the somewhat chaotic week pretty well so far. I’m thrilled, but pretty tired.
 
We are grateful to God for these gifts of life and we thank you for your prayers and your part in our lives.

Congratulations to Jon Coutts!

Congratulations are in order for Jon Coutts, recent grad of our seminary, who won a third place showing in “Ministry” magazine’s Ministerial Student Writing Contest. Contest winners can be found here. Jon was the only Canadian in the list. Unfortunately, the magazine did not publish the title of the article. If Jon is watching here, maybe you could let us know what the title of the article was.

A new blog

Word has been starting to filter out that I have started my own blog, and some have been asking for the URL. So for those interested, you can find my blog at http://dguretzki.wordpress.com. I’ve also added a link in the blogroll below. Be sure also to check out some of the other really good quality blogs there as well.

As before, if you are a Briercrest Seminary student or alumni and would like your blog advertised here, please send me an email at dguretzki “AT” briercrest.ca and I’ll add it to the blogroll.

Best,

Thoughts?

Dear Friends,

I wrote something about the sort of culture I want to create in my classes on my own blog here: http://scatterings1976.blogspot.com/2008/01/bucking-paradigm.html 

 I’d me most interested in any thoughts/comments you might have on this.
