This is the season... (A Good Start)

This blog started as a way to keep up with our extended family that lives a good distance away, it has grown to a way to share with our local friends as well. We have six children - three girls (13, 11, & 1) and three boys (9, 5, 4), plus a few odd pets. We live in the sticks and we're relaxed about life.. for the most part. Mom is a student midwife (and does the blogging!) so lots of stuff about pregnancy and childbirth comes up.

Luke 9:23

So what does Luke 9:23 say anyway?


Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
--Noah Webster

There is only one way to bring up a child in the way he should
go and that is to travel that way yourself.

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." Luke 9:23 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father's, and of the holy angels.Luke 9:24-26

Improvements?

So the idea is to conquer nature and results in the widespread application of attempts to improve on nature before scientific evaluation. This has led to a series of failed attempts in the twentieth century to improve on biological and social evolution. Doctors replaced midwives for low risk births, then science proved midwives safer. Hospital replaced home for low risk birth, then science proved home as safe with far less unnecessary intervention. Hospital staff replaced family as birth support, then science proved birth safer if family present. Lithotomy replaced vertical birth positions, then science proved vertical positions safer. Newborn examinations away from mothers in the first 20 minutes replaced leaving babies with mothers, then science proved the necessity for maternal attachment during this time. Man-made milk replaced woman-made milk, then science proved breast milk superior. The central nursery replaced the mother, then science proved rooming-in superior. The incubator replaced the mother's body for care of low-weight newborns, then science proved the kangaroo method better in many cases.
