That just boils my blood!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mandolyn, you have such a great perspective on things. During our battle with IF, this is exactly what my mom kept telling me. That in no way did God hurt me, but rather to use Him to help me. That advice really got me through some very bad times.Bobby and Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198363888782893588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32459948.post-66012566357492070872007-02-13T08:18:00.000-06:002007-02-13T08:18:00.000-06:00Great post.

I am Catholic, he is Lutheran, and neither church approves of it. <BR/><BR/>And as I look at Madelyn I have a hard time believing that God will condemn us to hell for seeking medical intervention to create a baby who is SO loved and well taken care of.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851059236142490659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32459948.post-41668850308209558702007-02-11T11:55:00.000-06:002007-02-11T11:55:00.000-06:00This is a great post.

What did she do wrong or why is she being tested? Those answers don't console me.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32459948.post-50541212940501077892007-02-09T22:10:00.000-06:002007-02-09T22:10:00.000-06:00I think you explain it really well.
