September birthday covers

It's hard to believe that it's time for September!

We did add Josh and Anna as they are about to celebrate their seventh year of marriage. I know that the feelings about Josh are hard right now but I don't think Josh and Anna will get divorce but we will have to wait and see.

30 weeks and counting!

Jessa is now 30 weeks pregnant with her first child. Many people are still talking about the ultrasound that we posted earlier this week of the baby. Ben and Jessa haven't said anything about them having twins yet so we are assuming that it's just one baby.

Statement over new reports!

Statement from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar:

 Please see the statement below from our son Josh regarding recent media stories about him. When we learned of this late last night our hearts were broken. As we continue to place our trust in God we ask for your prayers for Josh, Anna, our grandchildren and our entire family.
Statement from Josh Duggar:
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings. 
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.
Josh Duggar

Courtship Update: Sad News

This is our last update on Josiah and Marjorie! 
From the Duggars:
Many of you have asked us about Josiah and Marjorie.
Both Josiah and Marjorie have enjoyed getting to know each other and to build their friendship over the past months.
We are so grateful that they each are seeking the Lord’s will for their future.
A few weeks ago Marjorie and Josiah agreed to end their courtship, keeping in step with what they believe the Lord’s will is.
Both are thankful for the time getting to know each other, and their families continue to enjoy each other’s company and close friendship.
As parents we are very pleased to see two young people searching out their futures with God's will as their first priority!
