Since the clock has passed midnight on the African continent we will pause to wish Johanna a wonderful day of reflection and blessing. Johanna was a Sunday child (5:00 AM on the dot!) so even though the date is one day early, we will recall the blessing of her arrival in triumph and accomplishment (her older brother was born via C-section but Johanna was 'all natural' in her arrival!). In the end the doctor essentially missed all but the final details since even then Johanna traveled on a schedule that she and her Creator arranged together.
Her mid-wife (a faithful Catholic) expressed that it was such a spiritually transcendent experience that all she felt the need to do was to go to church on her way home. God was indeed gracious to grant us (and the world) this good gift of life. Happy birthday, dear daughter child!
