@Psephizo Yep. If everything is safeguarding, nothing is safeguarding. Madness.

To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.

Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.

If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.

Stanley Hauerwas’ quote that “In 100 years, if Christians are people identified as those who do not kill their children or their elderly, we would have been doing something right” continues to be vindicated.

Everyone needs to go to the @novaexhibition in London.

I have just been and I am completely shaken by what I saw.

As you walk among the tents, awnings and burnt out cars salvaged from October 7, you’re shown footage from the day, filmed by festival goers and bodycam footage of the Hamas terrorists.

The glee with which they murdered innocent people is vile. There’s no glory in it or justification for it.

As well as the brutality and evil of that day, there are also inspiring messages of hope.

If you really want to understand what happened on October 7 and how it felt, please go.

You will l leave deeply affected by it. But also, somehow, with more hope for humanity.

The work of prayer is never finished! Pray that these misguided efforts may be futile and frustrated. 🙏🏻

[Luke Simmons @lukedsimmons]

If you are comfortable in your own skin and solid in your identity with Christ, criticism and opposition are less crushing.

Still hurts, but not as devastating.

Only 14% of children now read at all out of school. This constitutes a huge emergency for the future of human culture and democracy. Real oral culture also developed the brain, but we don’t have that. Our current visual culture merely results in zombification.

Early Christianity was not "traditional." It was counter-cultural:

In ancient Rome, it was common to throw out unwanted infants. In the early church, Christians rescued the babies and eventually acquired enough political clout to pass laws against infanticide.

Who makes better parents? Left-wingers or right-wingers?

Right-wingers, says Jonathan Haidt, #1 NYT bestseller and one of the most cited living social psychologists.

“Right-wingers make better parents than left-wingers, and there’s a lot of data on this.”

If God is indulgent and small, you’ll wonder why there can’t be many ways to him.

If God is holy and great, you’ll marvel that there’s even one.

⚔️ROGUE BILL FALLS AS PARLIAMENT PROROGUED!

👀WATCH the moment at 13.56 today when the parliamentary session ended and the assisted suicide bill officially fell. Many thousands of lives have been saved. The flawed Bill was dangerous, divisive & distracting, but is now dead.

This is legitimately insane.

Banning cell phones in schools might turn out to be the best thing we’ve done for our kids in a generation.
