I am still recovering physically from Tuesday. Mostly I am sore and have a hard time moving around. I think I am getting around easier, though by the evening my stomach is pretty swollen! Yuck! I can say I hope I never have to have a c-section!!

In an attempt to process all of this, I made a list of things I can be thankful for through this whole experience…

There is a verse in James that, at first glance, strikes me as harsh:
