If your readers(and you) want to see a wonderful program about a large (mega) family, they need to watch the Duggars' new reality show, 17 and Counting on TLC on Monday nights at 10 pm ET. It premiered last night and just showed us more of this wonderful family. They are such a blessing and wonderful witness for Christ.

I am afraid that I'm too old to try to catch up Barbara or the Duggars...at 32, I have four of my own and two stepchildren. I would love to have more and not even concerned about what people think...only I don't have a house that will accomodate any more kids :( So I'm praying right now for God to supply us a way to renovate our basement. We have three bedrooms and a family of eight! The baby is in our bedroom in a porta-crib, all three boys share a room (for now), and the older two girls share a room. But if we had another, where would it sleep???
I suppose this is where faith comes in. If God wants us to have more, He'll provide the space/supplies/labor to provide shelter for another baby.
