Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is… that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.” Eugene Peterson wrote a book entitled A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, and as someone who has served in the same city since 1982, I claim that as my something that makes life worth living.

Waiting Update
Turns out it doesn't normally take 4 hours to examine a newborn. The baby fell out of her car seat on the way into the appointment and they were watching to make sure she was OK before releasing her. Thankfully she seems fine. And I'm glad I waited for this young mother, whose own mother died a few years back.
