IT'S A BOY!

Congratulations to Mark and Michelle on the birth of their yet-to-be-named grandson. 7 lbs 7 oz, born at 7:17 pm Friday evening. Mother and baby are both healthy and doing well.

When in the delivery room after the little guy was born, there was a real sense that ALL was right, ALL was good. There was nothing that could invade that space and destroy the rightness of it. It's what I imagine a piece of heaven being like. The love, the care, the healthy dependence on others, and of course new creation. It's ALL good. Many say it's just biology, it's Beyond biology. Thanking God.

Congrads Mark and Michelle for becoming grandparents! And just think, you didn't have to do anything. As my parents say, it is the BEST title on the planet.
