I have read your blogs, and what a breath of fresh air! Let me tell you a little about myself. When I grew up, where I got the same teaching on the environment and small families that many of you have been exposed to. My wife and I planned on having a big family, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we only have two.

When I was almost 30 years old, I trusted the Lord as my Saviour. I found, to my surprise, that God’s ways are often the opposite of man’s. Did you know that one of God’s first commands to man was to be fruitful and multiply? Multiplication is increase, and two children is not multiplying. You are among the few in America who are fulfilling this command of God.

Have you ever thought, that the same God who created the environment, also created us, and gave some of us the desire and ability to have large families? This earth is not the be all and end all. There is another place called heaven, and that place has a population problem: it is not full, and God is looking for more people to fill it. I would like to invite all of you to come, God wants all of you and your children there.

The first step is to know the Lord. Who among you knows the Lord? If you don’t know the Lord, and would like to, I’d like to refer you to a web page created by a Christian mother of 9. This site has the plan of salvation on it:
