particular
''time''
represents
my
favourite
verse

Bible:
''If
thy
eye
be
single,
thy
whole
body
will
be
full
of
light'',"

to
incorporate
her
family
name,"
he
explained.
"We
welcome
''Levi
Alves
McConaughey'' into
this
wonderful
life
and
look
forward
to
livin''
it
with
him.
"We
are
stoked
and
wowed
by
this
miracle
of
creation
and
this
gift
from
God,
and
so
excited
for
the
adventure
that
will
come
in
raising
this
child,
being
a
mother
and
a
father,
and
sheperding
him
or
her
through
this
life,"

blog
when
announcing

pregnancy
in
January.
The
actor,
38,
told
Entertainment
Tonight
he''s
been
receiving
parenting
advice.
"One
thing
I''ve
heard
that''s
consistent
is,
''whatever
plans
you
make,
throw
them
out
the
window!''" he
stated
