Oh well.  Here&#8217;s some for you to think about though.  There is a contemporary Christian group called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gofishguys.com\">Go Fish<\/a> that my wife and I enjoy.  One of my favorite songs from them is a little tune called &#8220;That&#8217;s What Amazes Me&#8221;.  I think the title explains it pretty well.  After having our 3 year-old niece visit us last weekend and reading about my pal Brian finally bring home his adopted son from Guatemala, this particular verse struck home for me:<\/p>\n<p><em>Little fingers curled round mine<br \/>\nA perfect heart right in time<br \/>\nBrand new eyes look all around<br \/>\nAs tiny ears hear every sound<br \/>\nAnd like the artist creates his masterpiece from nothing<br \/>\nSo this child came to be<br \/>\nFrom the love of two<br \/>\nCame a whole new entitiy<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s what amazes me<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is amazing, isn&#8217;t it?
