Baby Born Four Months Prematurely as Mom Gives Birth on Flight Over the Atlantic Ocean
Jenny Drake was flying home after a vacation in Paris when she went into labor on the transatlantic flight. Just 25 weeks pregnant, Drake told The Daily Mail she was terrified that her baby girl would not survive on the plane if she was born so prematurely. I was just trying to keep her in, which is easier said than done, Drake said. I just kept thinking, Please let me make it to the hospital because every minute counts without oxygen.

From The Friars eLetter |
What Waiting Obtains
A characteristic of the world, whether we like it or not and whether we wish to admit it or not, is that everything in this world is limited. We can only eat so much food before we get sick. We can only listen to so much music before our brains beg us for silence and we can only watch so much TV before we get bored and maybe even depressed.
A sign that we are beginning to mature is not only the realization of this fact but the acceptance of it in my life. By accepting the limited nature of this world, which includes other people, I stop hoping and expecting to find my ultimate fulfillment here. The irony is that by accepting life and other people as they really are, i.e., limited, I can begin to appreciate the beauty of life as it unfolds before me.
How then are we suppose to live in this world?
The Psalmist encourages us: “Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage, yes, wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:14). Waiting for God is no easy task. Perhaps there is nothing more difficult in this life than this. In times of darkness and difficulty we run to some “thing” hoping that it can ease our pain. But instead of reacting immediately, instead of running to some “thing” or someone we are called simply to wait upon God, the only one who knows no limits.
