Bill & Sheila Visit Their Grandson .... Due In Early December

Sheila and I had a very touching experience this afternoon. For half an hour we got to watch our grandson, Benjamin Robert Schatz, move around inside his mommies tummy.

There is a business here in Tulsa called Stork Vision that will, for a fee, allow family and friends to come in and watch a realtime with full movement three dimensional sonogram of their unborn child, grandchild, etc.

It was incredibly exciting, tender and sobering all at the same time. There he was, a little boy. We saw his little boy parts. We watched him pull his hands over his eyes trying to go back to sleep. We watched him stretch his feet almost to his face and curl up in a ball. And eventually, we saw his little face, puffy cheeks, Kumpe nose and all. I don't really know how to explain my feelings at this moment.

It hasn't been so long ago that we didn't even know what the sex of a child would be until it was born. And we certainly didn't know anything about them as a person. But, for half an hour this afternoon, we watched him move, respond to stimulus and even show emotion.

God shares his sovereignty with us in allowing us to create new life. It is a wonder both physically and spiritually. I am still in awe of what I saw this afternoon.
