We are all home now, and doing well.
Being with my wife through two deliveries now I have made an observation that labour and delivery paralleling Holy Week and Pascha. Both labour and Holy Week are alot of work, but the prize, a new child/celebrating the Resurection, is worth evey bit of it. But I suppose that is in essence what the whole Christian life is about, a life time of struggling for an indescribable and priceless prize.
