Sunday

Grace is tucked in for the night and a quiet weekend draws to a close. Tomorrow she will be one month old. We will see what the week brings since she has a barrage of new tests tomorrow. More updates to follow.

Off topic, I have been reflecting about the senseless loss of life in Mumbai, India over the last week. One thing Grace's struggle has taught us is how precious and tenuous life is. Every victim of the Mumbai attacks (as well a their killers), were once tiny infants like Grace and surely were loved by their parents and families. Their lives were infinitely valuable. I find it so hard to believe that any religious person (whether Christian, Muslim, or Hindu) can truly believe that taking the life of another will further their cause, advance their religion in the eyes of the world, or somehow lead them to salvation. It is a sad comment on the state of tolerance in the world today and how little value we place on life.
