The Duggar family announced yesterday that they are now expecting their 20th child. This family has their own show on TLC, "19 Kids and Counting" (...which will obviously be changed next season). I absolutely LOVE their show! It's so refreshing to watch a show where God is the focus...where there is no cursing or immoral acts going on. While, I'm not saying that I agree with everything they do, I am saying that I enjoy their show and if they want to have 20 children (or more), that's there business. I personally think all the people calling themselves Christian and judging the Duggars' decisions are not really acting very Christian-like, are they?
The most frequently asked question the family is asked is, "Why do you have so many children?"

Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar married July 21st, 1984. At that time, they chose to use the birth control pill. They thought, “We don’t want children right now. We can’t afford them. We want children in our timing, when we’re ready.” Four years later they decided to have their first child. Then, Michelle went back on the pill, but she conceived and had a miscarriage. At that point they talked with a Christian medical doctor and read the fine print in the contraceptives package. They found that while taking the pill you can get pregnant and then miscarry. They were grieved! They were Christians! They were pro-life! They realized that their selfish actions had taken the life of their child. They prayed and asked God to forgive them, and to teach them to love children like He loves children. They asked God to bless them with as many children as He saw fit in His timing.
