1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
Still wondering why? Why would something so terrible happen to a family like ours? Zoe is going home. One book we look at says that one study shows that 50% of babies with trisomy 18 die in their first week. I wish it weren't so, but then I think my wish is for me, not her. If you know Zoe's mom and dad, then you know that Zoe will be singing loudest and longest and with the most passion at Jesus' feet. Would I rather she sings in a pew next to me at St. John's? is that fair?
Why? Read this story:
Just got home from the prison and it was an amazing night. I shared about Zoe and Jen and Greg and family. And to be certain, there are 40 some God-fearing men who are lifting the entire family up in heartfelt prayers.

This may be a very stupid question, but is it possible to copy the most recent entry Greg has on his blog? Do you know how to do that and can you do it for me and forward it to me or is it not feasible? I want to read it next week at the prison. It is such an unbelievable testimony of how God works.
So glad I went tonight even though I felt crumby physically. The spiritual part of me overshadowed that. Praise God!!!!!!
How about this:
Greg, Jen, and family: I simply want to share testimony to the truth of how God is using your beautiful Zoe. I left a meeting this evening in another companies' offices in Minneapolis. I shared I couldn't commit to a meeting because my schedule is uncertain. I then shared about Zoe. Another man I only recently met closed the meeting and then around the big conference table he led those attending in earnest prayer for you, for Zoe and "every circumstance around this little girl". Your Zoe - she really is amazing. We love you and little Zoe.
Who am I to decide? My prayer for my children is that they live lives of faith and servanthood to our Father. If each one of us could say that we touched as many lives as Zoe has touched in 6 days, we'd feel like true servants. I wish she were singing in the pew next to me, but Jesus needs her in the front row sooner. My little tiny loss compared to Heaven's gain.
