or a children's wing in a hospital?

It's one of the most emotionally difficult places to be.

It's just overwhelming.

Honestly, when you see beautiful faces of young children that are in the process of struggling to remain alive.

I'll never forget, I was a young pastor, gosh it was 20 some years ago, and somebody in the church was pregnant a newly married couple

pastor mark we have we're pregnant with twins oh my golly that's that's a lot and and then they kind of kept me updated and then I got the call hey things are not going while we're rushing to the hospital

Show up at the hospital, premature birth, two baby boys, very, very premature, very, very small.

And both are on ventilators, hooked up to machines, monitoring their progress.
