To celebrate becoming the world’s first trillionaire, @elonmusk should go ahead and announce a Tesla vehicle capable of transporting my family of eight.
@Jose_Galvan@SooperMexican There should be a choice between “never” and “once a week”.
Once or twice a year for us. I suppose that’s an anomaly though.
Pregnancy can be a scary time for everyone involved. You don’t have control over the process. We had scary or ambiguous test results almost every time. Thank God our kids are healthy. But there’s grace in the difficult circumstance.
My oldest brother is almost 60. He is severely disabled and epileptic. He’s been nonverbal my whole life. He has required special care as long as I can remember. He hasn’t walked in years.
My parents, now in their 80s, have carried a heavy burden for most of their lives. It’s emotionally draining and physically exhausting work. My parents love him so much. They have done things the right way and have been richly blessed for it.
There are so many more examples of this. It’s tempting to take control of a seemingly hopeless situation. Don’t make things worse. Choose the path of love.
Almost exactly ten years ago, on Christmas Eve 2013, I accompanied my wife to an ultrasound appointment. The ultrasound revealed a choroid plexus cyst, which is a marker for trisomy 18. So we were told to schedule a more advanced ultrasound several weeks later.
That was a difficult Christmas, wondering if our little one would have an almost certainly fatal condition. We knew what sort of advice we would receive from the doctors if it was trisomy 18 but we also knew in advance that abortion wasn’t an option for us.
Thankfully, the follow-up ultrasound showed a completely healthy little girl.
It was around that time that I was doing some research on trisomy 18 and read about the Santorums’ story.
This is unspeakably sad.
It's wrong -- crushingly, gravely, sorrowfully, and heinously wrong.
I'm convinced what makes a difference is to pray that Christ will be known to every person invovled.
Pia and Max are gonna do that. Let's do that.
