A Mother's Body? 

   Often we see women on TV claiming absolute right to control what she does with "my own body." 

   Is her unborn baby really her own body? 

   Chromosomes are DNA molecules with genetic material. There are 23 pairs. The baby's chromosomes are not the same as the mother's. 

   If the father is of a different race, the baby will be of mixed race. 

   There are times when a mother dies, while her baby lives.

   A heart that stops on its own means death. A baby's heart normally doesn't stop on its own. 

   A mother's body initially assumes the baby is foreign material, and begins to react negatively. (We don't know the particulars.) 

A Woman's Surprise

   This week Mrs. Donut and I drove an elderly lady to her doctor appointment, some 40 miles south of us. She was raised in Michigan.

   Along the way she told us of her teaching career, which began in Michigan.

   Until this week, we've only known her as a warm and friendly lady, who loves the Lord and gives God the glory throughout her day. She moved to Florida from Michigan to complete her career and retire.

   So it surprised us to learn she is not only a college football fan, but an Ohio State fan. She thinks former coach Urban Meyer is wonderful. 😀
