A child with Down Syndrome was used as a suicide bomber. Apparently the explosives were detonated via remote control.

I don’t have words. Not a one. So I’ll borrow two.

“At that time people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall upon us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
: for if these things are done when the wood is green what will happen when it is dry?” – Luke 23:30-31; How long, O LORD? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not intervene.
: Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord. This is why the law is benumbed, and judgment is never rendered: Because the wicked circumvent the just; this is why judgment comes forth perverted. –Habakkuk 1:2-4; Lord, have mercy.

Via Amy Welborn, a beautiful essay on the gifts brought to a family by a baby with severe disabilities.

I Believe in Original Sin

This brilliant analysis from Big Arm Woman is an illustration of how ugly conversations can become on the Internet. I hate how shallow and vicious people can be when they are speaking about strangers.

I love Big Arm Woman. She is a marshmallow in a cynic mask.

Rationalizing Judas

Quite a bit of flap about the book The Gospel According to Judas. I had a draft started with my perspective, but Jimmy Akin beat me to the punch and said it better in the bargain.

Go. Read. Ponder.

Feeling Lousy?

I am. I’ve been fighting the creeping crud for weeks. But seeing the photo at the top of Cause of Our Joy makes me smile. And stay for the thoughtful posts. I added them to my blogroll, and I look forward to future visits.
