My friend Blake Thompson and his wife Bev had a baby recently. Thankfully, he was kind enough to post a picture of his dear wife’s placenta. Let me warn you not to go to that last link if you have a weak stomach.
So why am I telling you about this? Multiple reasons:
- In 10 years we have gone from barely using email to publishing our placentas for our friends.
- I am fascinated by all things medical.
- It is a cool photo.
- Ashley has one of these in her at the moment that is feeding and protecting our baby.
- An all-capable God creates this marvelous stuff for His glory.
- Even our bio-waste points to and acknowledges Jesus.
- I wanted to gross some people out.
Hope you enjoy the photo and stare as long as I did.

Agreed. Placentas were not meant to be posted online!
What’s up brother? Miss you lots! I am living out my dream job working in Christian television. I am a producer for the Christian Broadcasting Network and work with Pat Robertson on the 700 Club.
I was just in Lakeland, Florida, doing a story on the healing revival breaking out. My grandma & I may go back soon.. Any interest in going? —Tracy Winborn
I was awhile in approving this comment. Sorry Tracy, the last month has been pretty wild and I have not made much free time. Was great to email with you a bit and to hear how God has moved in your life. Really cool!
Tracy, you are blessed to get to work with Pat R at CBN. We have been supporters of that ministry for about 20 years and respect him very much.
