Today would be the 35th birthday of my sister, Sylvia Lee. I wish it were a day we could celebrate. Instead, her little spark was extinguished by that demon, Group B strep. Thank goodness treatment is different and antibiotics are more freely administered than they were in 1973. She would have had a fighting chance, if only they didn't have to wait for a culture to grow before they'd give her anything. A newborn can't wait that long, but she tried as hard as she could :-( 35 years later, and it still hurts.Bible Verse of the Day
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)
