I was reading through the news this morning since I no longer have television to tune into (not that I did anyway) and read this article about the world's first test tube baby, Louise Brown from England, becoming a first time mother.  I was less than 10 years old when baby Louise was born.  This was a definite step toward some of the scientific advances we have continued to make, for better or worse.  I know that there are many infertile couples that these kinds of breakthroughs have helped - and in those cases it seems like the Lord has used science in the same way that He uses doctors and medical advances to help the sick.  However, I can't help but think of the story from the Bible of Lot's daughters - and how their incestuous relationship with their father, taking matters into their own hands so that they would have offspring brought about two of Israel's biggest enemies.  I wonder where the dividing line is between God's provision of science, and our taking matters into our own hands. 
Just some thoughts that were scrambling around in my brain this morning.  I'd love to hear your opinion.

Love and blessings! ~ ? Julie ? ~
