Rob Wilkerson has an excellent post at his blog, Miscellanies on the Gospel. Here is an excerpt:
The lesson here is this: the motivation in telling is telling. In other words, perceiving one’s motivation for telling one someone else is 99% of the story they are telling. If they are telling to get someone in trouble, [...]

As expected, traditional news outlets have not been very kind to Coach Gundy for his postgame outburst, but I for one and grateful for at least a few things he vocalized. Jump to the middle with 2 minutes left if you’re short on time, and listen to a coach who cares for his players.

Joni has a touching new article at World Magazine, crosslinked by Desiring God, regarding a recent recommendation by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for broader prenatal testing:

Babies: not so innocent after all
