My wife and I would be very comfortable having a baby at home, or using one of the terrific nurse-midwives at the hospital.

And though some days it is very hard, I try not to live for the future. And I try not to dream of the past.

A single, ordinary person still can make a difference - and single, ordinary people are doing precisely that every day.

My grandparents, like many genocide survivors, took most of their stories to their graves.

Life is filled with small moments that seem prosaic until one has the distance to look back and see the chain of large moments they unleashed.

The world is filled with human toxins -- not the darkness that we all occasionally crave, but actually people who are so unwilling to bask in the angelic light that is offered us all that they grow poisonous -- and you can pray for their eventual recovery and healing. And sometimes those prayers will be answered. But sometimes these individuals have been vaccinated against goodness and against angels and they are so unwilling to give an inch to their God that often they never (and I use this expression absolutely literally) see the light.
