we love because He first loved us
As I continue learning about pregnancy and birth and the ways of life it amazes me to see the design of it all.
No matter what you call it, there is a time when all the data and even the mystery of birth point to a master designer.

Who sinned that this man would be blind? Him? His parents?
WHO screwed up?!
