From death comes new life


One week ago I was saddened by the news that a high school classmate of mine had passed away.


This week I'm in awe and full of joy for the new baby that came into the world yesterday, courtesy of my dear friends Rob and Jeanna.


It's amazing that the cycle of life continues despite our many trials and tribulations, ups and downs, whether we're ready for it or not.


I am so grateful to have their presence in my life, and to have witnessed (in some small way) this miracle.


I pray everyone comes to understand that both death and new birth are part of life, and that we can always count on the cycle continuing, even in our most desparate of days.
