Hosive

we selected two of our friends to be baby zoe’s godmothers…the job description is to pray for z as if she were their own, play an active role in her spiritual growth and model the love and sacrifice of jesus in their lives. so a big criteria was for them to be in town though the spiritual journeys of these women may lead them elsewhere in the near future.

debby fung has been my friend for over 20 years…being part of three churches together in ny, chicago and md. she was my assistant youth director at the latter church, spiritual confidant, fellow u2 tour mate and constant member of all incarnations of the party machine. her ministry interests and skills can take her anywhere.

stephanie shieh attached herself to us upon our arrival to nyc somewhat due to our proximity to columbia. she is theresa’s cooking, knitting, painting, concert line upping buddy. her travels to kenya and work with aids orphans there give her a global perspective on our faith.

here they are advising us on the usual pitfalls of parenthood:

don’t shake the baby. we already knew that but they double checked.
