Let There Be Babies!

It may have been 14.5 weeks early to us, but yesterday God spoke from heaven to the Jahnke family and said, “Let there be babies!” Alanna Grace and Sarah Nicole entered the world around 5:00 p.m.

Please keep our Associate Passtor’s family in prayer. The girls were flown to St. Louis to a NICU where they are expected to remain till September some time. Pray for Stephanie and John, I am sure that this will be stressful. Also, pray for the new grandparents and for safe travel for them. Finally, pray for the girls. Pray that they will grow and develop quickly.

It is amazing to think that in a society like ours that when a mother wants to keep her babies that we move heaven and earth to save them. Two helicopters landed around 4:00 p.m. to take the babies to St. Louis. Each chopper flew to the St. Louis hospital in 15 minutes which means that they had to approach speeds of 200 mph. Each of the girls’ life flight teams waited at the hospital for about 90 minutes for the babies to be born. The same teams of five or six highly trained people that save lives in so many situations wheeled out two little incubators, one at a time, to their respective choppers. In each of those specialized plastic boxes was a small life weighing only about 2 pounds! The insurance company, the hospital, the NICU, the Obstetrician, the pediatricians and a team of great nurses, are all collaborating in the process. What lengths we go to save these precious lives.

What is totally confusing is that if the same woman did not want those same babies at the same point of development it is totally legal for her to terminate them.

Why is it legal to treat one human being with such respect, such expense, and extreme care and then take an equally valid human (in some cases a more healthy human being) and discard them?

History will be the judge. Our selfish legal decisions will be judged by our children on par with human trafficking, the slave trade and genocide. All errors of the human race that are perpetrated by mis-guided groups or societies. What is most hideous about abortion is that one person makes a choice without legal ramifications, without peer review, without any formal accountability.
