I'm sitting here with a snoring - and sweaty - 94 day old child on my chest. She frets sometimes - a few times a day or so - and fusses until we give her a little infant Motrin, and then she settles down. She's eating a little more than 2 ounces a feeding now. She weighs over 7 pounds now. Are we marking life in inches or ounces?
What about in "friends" or visitors? Teia set up a Zoe Means Life Facebook page. In just a few hours, it's up to 61 friends...but that's dwarved by the 400 visitors this blog gets each day. People checking in to see how Zoe's and our family is doing.
Probably the only measure - the only one that matters - is service. How many people God has touched through our lives. Zoe (still sweating and snoring) has done pretty well through 94 days.
It's strange how over the last few days, I've run into two stories about the Church facing persecution around the world. And I know those brave men and women are measuring their lives in service. Being used. God furthering his kingdom through the brave, the weak and the snoring.

I saw her tonight and I must say she's looking good....holding her head up, wide eyed, guzzling her bottle, and I think I saw a little Batiansila sass. :)
