"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." -Psalm 127:3

It's a boy! At 7:39 p.m., the Lord brought Asher Justin McGuire into the world! He weighs 8 lbs. 7 ozs and he and his mother are both doing great! Soli Deo Gloria!

Asher means "blessed and happy" in Hebrew. He obviously got his middle name from his Daddy. Bless his heart, the poor thing looks like his Daddy, too!

Thank you for your prayers; they've been answered mightily! Pictures to come!

What a blessing God has bestowed on your family and those that love and support you. I can't wait to meet him. Asher McGuire is so lucky to be born into a Christian Family where he can come to know the Lord very early in his life.
With my love and prayers for a happy healthy life!

May the Lord allow him to grow old and never depart from his training in righteousness.
