A King had sent His Son to save the peasants, and not only that– that Son took “the form of a servant”. Christ– the Messiah, the hoped-for King– took the role of a humble slave.

Excellent thoughts on motherhood over at Raising Homemakers:
In fact, I am prone to wake up in the middle of the night only to start rehearsing all the ways I’m letting my kids down, all the inadequacies and deficiencies, what I’m not giving them, and on and on. Until one night around 3am, as I was [...]
