John's Birth

Today in 1974 my son John was born at Lakeside Hospital for Women in Metarie (New Orleans) LA. I was in the delivery room. The doctor did not spank him, but gave him a shot instead.

Our Christian doctor, James Seese, told me to learn a lesson from John's first cry. He said his breath did not come from within him, but was borrowed from God's atmosphere. It was a lesson highlighting our utter dependence on God.

John was born at 12:44pm. He has from that first moment been a delightful son. Ruth and I are proud of him.
