A La Carte (5/17)

Satan’s Desire for Mothers – I think Julian draws out some important points in this article, and especially so under his second heading, “Satan says mothering is too good for you. Gone are the days (seemingly) when mothering is bad and career is good. Now we have entered the days of ‘Super-Moms’, where mothering is not for the faint-of-heart.”

How We View the World – I appreciated this take on the different ways we are prone to see the world (and not only because it borrows its analogy from baseball).

None reverence the Lord more than they who know him best.

—William Cowper
