How the Cookie Crumbles

Several weeks ago I was in Dallas, ministering at a men's conference. After the event was over, some of us went to grab a little lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Of course, when you eat Chinese food, the experience concludes with a fortune cookie. We had been talking throughout the meal about our children--I spoke of my two delightful daughters and how excited we are about Rachel being 4 months pregnant. It's no secret that I'm pulling for a boy--I've played with enough Barbie Dolls, Pretty Pretty Princess, painted my fingernails, and put on enough make-up to last me for a while...I'm ready to throw a football!!

I gave everyone their fortune cookies, then proceeded to open mine. To my shock and amazement, my Chinese fortune was summed up in one word: GIRL!! I've never seen a fortune cookie with just one word. Normally, it's a wise saying or piece of advice. I dropped that cookie like a hot potato!!! The guys got a good laugh at my expense. All I could think about was 3 girls--3 weddings. I went home and prayed!
