And so, here we are.
Happily and like-mindedly waiting to see if and when God gives us another bundle.
Kenzie is 3 1/2.
Ryken is 2 1/4.
Emery and Casey are each 3/4 (9 months).
And I am still period-less for now and as far as I know, not pregnant.
But. The other day, I decided to get a head start.
I mean, yeah, sure we decided that we were both open to another baby. But after that, surely we'd HAVE to be done. Right?
We have to be done sometime. Right?????
And a vasectomy is still the easiest way to go. So I decided to back it all up. I know there are no verses that talk about this issue specifically...but SURELY others have thought this through and there MUST be some good, solid Biblical reasons and arguments for why this is a good thing to do. Right??
And so I began my search.
I was sure I'd find SOMETHING. Someone to talk about the WISDOM of a vasectomy. About the STEWARDSHIP behind a vasectomy. Right?
And so I googled. And googled. And googled.
And did NOT find what I was looking for....what I was HOPING for.
Instead, I found page after page of either what seemed like a lame excuse or answer like "the Bible doesn't say not to...so go for it" OR I found page after page of challenging the way I was looking at things.
I had decided to get a head-start on the issue....making sure that when/if baby #5 comes along I'd be all ready to go with the big V...knowing we were making Biblically grounded decisions.
And that is where my questions started. Remember....those questions WAY back in my first post? Instead of a head-start I found myself taking 1 step forward and about 1,000 steps back. And so the examination begins.
