What a cutie. When the Palin'ss love on their baby boy/brother they are loving on a Saint. These souls, of Down Syndrome people, are completely free from the concupiscence that plague so called ‘normal’ people. They are incapable of sinning through their own fault and their souls will be in heaven the instant their earthly body dies. To be blessed with the privilege of raising such a child is not unlike that of the Holy Family themselves in being graced in raising the child Jesus.

We can learn much from them; all we need to do is pay attention.

It may well be that little Trig Palin and his affect on those who see him and his family's love for him and for what he radiates back to them is part of God's plan to reverse the course of the abortion culture of death we have built, or has been built around us.

A month or so ago my daughter had her dance recital. It was an hour and a half performance with all ages from 4 year olds dancing to "The Good Ship Lolly-pop" to professionals performing amazing feats of grace, balance and strength.

The show was stolen by the five and six year olds dancing to "Edelweiss." In the middle was a beautiful little girl with Down Syndrome. After much searching the mom had found a school that would teach her daughter. The joy and trust on her face as she danced on the big stage in front of hundreds spoke more about how precious life is than any poet, orator or scholar in history.
