Jan. 16, 2008 - Just a Couple of Notes
Posted in Everyday Grace
I don't have alot of time to blog this evening. But I have a few things on my mind that I want to blog about. I will set thing in motion for those.
First of all, I am supposed to publish a review article of the most recent TEACH magazine. I have really dropped the ball on that. I haven't even had a chance to sit down and read it until tonight. I got it right before the holidays. Then we had sick children, one of which was my 11 month old who could hardly breath through most of it. Then school started up and I have been working really hard to stick to our schedule. It's working though. We seem to be bringing more order to the house just simply by sticking with a regular schedule. Pee-Pooh seems to be having an easier time with our days as he's figuring out what to expect. SiBay is sleeping better now as well. Now that things are slowing down a bit I will be preparing that review for publish. Hopefully it will be out this weekend. So far it's really good. It's focus this issue is Hospitality. That is something I know that I need help with.
Second and final thought for this day. . .I have never published my birth stories. I LOVE birth stories. But I have just never thought to put mine out on the web. I think I will be starting a series on birth coming up soon. We have many birthdays coming up in the next 4 weeks so I will be retelling birth stories of each of my children (as is our tradition for each birthday.) But I also want to discuss some of my thoughts about and experiences with birth. I have often joked with people that I could teach childbirth class simply from my experiences with my 5 children. You will see that in my birth stories. My hope is to encourage just one women to truly consider her choices when it comes to the delivery of her baby. We do have choices. But I think too often women just assume that doctors know best. Is some cases that is true? But there is only a very small percentage of births that truly need medical help. That is evident in the way Europeans approach birth in and out of hospitals. The American medical model for birthing babies is extremely flawed and in some cases dangerous. My previous post was about the documentary "The Business of Being Born" and hopefully is will reveal that truth. So, my intention over the next several weeks (or months if it takes that to get my thought out there) will be to put my own birth stories into writing (so you can know where I come from) and to share knowledge that I have collected over the years.

| That is because in America the health care industry is motivated primarily on money. In most European countries, it isn't as much because it is all covered by their taxes. They keep cost down so they can keep taxes down. |

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 19 months to 9 yod and our "Finale" due in November '08. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
