formed logo semibold"Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death" by Adm. Jeremiah Denton.  Admiral Jeremiah Denton spent over seven years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.  In this moving presentation, he recalls how, through the power of prayer, he withstood extreme torture rather than betray God or the U.S.A.  For his valor, he was awarded the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal, the Navy Cross, and the POW Meda.  He is now a champion of various humanitarian causes.  Enjoy this testimony in this talk!
2 monthsYour baby's facial features continue to develop.  Each ear begins as a little fold of skin at the side of the head.  Tiny buds that eventually grow into arms and legs are forming.  Fingers, toes and eyes are also forming.  The neural tube (brain, spinal cord and other neural tissue of the central nervous system) is swell formed.  The digestive tract and sensory organs begin to develop.  Bone starts to replace cartilage.  The head is large in proportion to the rest of the baby's body.  By the end of the second month, your baby is about 1 inch long and weighs about 1/20 of an ounce.  At about 6 weeks, your baby's heart beat can usually be detected.
