Miraculous Birth. The SCPX Story
January 2008 “Oh my gosh! The baby is being born right now!” I held my wife’s hand as she lay on the hospital bed, in labor with our fourth child, Graham Anthem. It had been a difficult pregnancy, not so much physically, but spiritually. At 32 years old, a decent...

I once was assembling some TV trays in my basement. To women, TV trays are one of those mysteriously unpopular items that keep coming back year after year, no matter how you try to prevent them. Kind of like a virus. Everyone wants to kill them, but they keep coming...
