I just found out that a friend of mine had her baby, breech and baby got stuck. Baby was born brain dead. The family of 6 decided to donate baby girl's organs and somewhere a 1 month old little girl got a new heart.
At church we have 2 priests, both middle aged and full of wisdom. We love them both dearly. This wkend one priest made the announcement that the other would like to let the congregation know that he was just diagnosed with ALS. He's going to the Mayo for a 2nd opinion.
Just when things seem to be going so well, you're given more to pray for each day, either in thanksgiving or lifting those up in prayer around you. Time to just slow down and live.
