It's a girl!

Sweet baby Elianna (Modern Hebrew, meaning 'God answers') was born Sept. 14 in the afternoon. She is perfect. Our daughter had severe seizures from pre-eclampsia after delivery. Hospital staff addressed the problem quickly and well. Today our daughter is better. Thank you to each one who prayed. If you'd like to see what she looks like, click here.

Now we have 4 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. We are blessed.

I suspect that Elianna will grow up understanding that instructions for all people in the Bible include her only if those instructions use words which communicate that inclusive generic reference for her generations of English speakers. I doubt that she would ever understand that any verse worded about "men" actually means "all people" unless she decides to major in classical English literature in college.
