God allowed man the gift of artificial fertilization. I’m sure many woman are on their knees praying to the lord for his blessing . It is not an easy process to go through and very expensive.

Your very personal and profound sharing demonstrates a real vulnerability like the children in today’s Gospel. I don’t believe God is finding you wanting at all because of your shutting Him out as your father was dying. I have worked among patients who are dying and their families for many years. Responses to terminal illness are varied and personal. Often folks are angry with God for allowing said suffering to a good person who is relatively young. Your clinging to your father is a small part of the huge mystery of life and death which you will some day understand just not now. God Bless you and your family just like Jesus blessed the children John

It’s not the fear you have when one is physical danger.

I enjoy reading your work. You are truly talented and God bless you always.

Grateful for our faith. Prayers for you always and for your Dad’s Eternal Life.

You have opened my sleepy eyes to see and understand more deeply the fear and awe of our Creator. Blessings to you and peace knowing your shared knowledge with us is making a difference.

People are so fearful in this day and age. The peace of our Lord is the answer.
So sorry of your Dad’s passing in 1986. So thankful for your renewed faith.
