Today a co-worker was sharing about some exciting research investigating “still births.” She was saying how we really don’t know, even today, what causes still births.

My first thought was: “Sin. It’s sin in their lives. That baby has devil in him.”

Albeit, I was being a sarcastic jackass (and kept my thoughts to myself). But there was a time when I would have had to think hard about whether or not it was god’s judgement on the family or just a tragic, unexplainable misfortune.
