(Back from summer hiatus!)

A Silver Medal for Frugality

Sheesh. I was feeling like enough of a slacker after Dara Torres won three silver medals in the Olympics at age 41. Comes now an L.A. woman, Jessica Higgins, who gave birth to a daughter on her front lawn the other day, all by herself. Mother and daughter are doing fine. Man, if I could’ve done that four times instead of being in the hospital with all those bills, think of the tens of thousands of dollars I could’ve saved!

The baby, Mary Claire, came six weeks early and weighed in at five pounds, 11 ounces. Mrs. Higgins, who lives in Fullerton, was driving home with her 2-year-old son in the back seat and barely made it to her house when the baby emerged.

Here’s a humor note: she was on “hold” on her cell phone with her doctor’s office when the baby was born. Isn’t that just always the way?

PRAYER REQUEST: We pray for guidance for a young woman named Katie who is engaged at age 20 after just two months of dating. Lord, if this is the husband You have for her, great – bring on that wedding. But if she is being too hasty, Father, slow her down and give her time to be sure. (Titus 2:4,5)
