I write this as I take a break from redoing the walls of our baby room. And as I write this, Cheryl is busy planning her hospital bag, and Baby is tickling her from the inside.

When I was young, to my shame I paid little attention during most of my dad’s attempts to include me in [...]

Fifteen pro-life truths

William Chong — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:12:41 +0000

From a booklet by John Piper (emphasis mine):

Fetal surgery is performed on babies in the womb to save them while another child the same age is being legally destroyed. Babies can sometimes survive on their own at [...]
