Isaiah 9:6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
December is a timely placement for this Scripture. The Burwicks' have a paraphrased version that we're excited about.

For unto us a grandson is born. Unto us a grandson is given and his name shall be called Barron Olaf Burwick, mighty warrior, king of Norway, head full of golden red hair, with the Burwick chin cleft.

Ray II and Holly gave us our first Burwick grandson, Sunday Dec.14th. 7 pounds 11.6 ounces, 19 1/2 inches. Mother and baby are doing well. Father is exhausted :-)

Middle name is from his father and grandfather's middle name of Norwegian heritage.

Please join us in praying that from a very young age he will be a mighty warrior for God - loving on and encouraging others in their quest for God.

"Father, we commit this young baby man to you to accomplish the task which you are setting out for him to accomplish. Protect him from anything that would dissuade him from that pursuit. Bless his mommy and daddy (and his grandparents) as they model a walk with You for him. Draw him to yourself at a young age. May he fall in love with Jesus. Amen."
