When Faith Met Science in the NICU
The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival. His family held prayer vigils in the hospital chapel every night. Against every prediction, he not only survived but thrived — and the NICU staff had to grapple with what they witnessed.

The Quietest Room
The room had beige walls, a box of tissues on the table, and a chair positioned so the patient could see the door. I had delivered bad news in that room hundreds of times. Then one patient asked me to sit down, take a breath, and tell her the truth like a human being — not like a doctor.

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
