Links: birth control, quadruplets, tornadoes, and more!

The Bible and Birth Control - Tim Challies is starting a series on birth control and, like most of what he writes, it's serious, thoughtful, and interesting.

Quadruplet Boys Born in Bristol on "Leap Day" - and two of them were monoamniotic twins, like my girls! Naturally-conceived quads are incredibly rare, but it's very common, when they are conceived, to have at least one pair of identical twins in the set. Anyway: hooray for babies arriving safely! God bless them through the hard first stage of growth.

DIY Chic: Printed Word Scarf - neat tutorial for a fashionable and literary accessory.

Indiana Woman Loses Legs Saving Kids From Tornado - one heroic mom.

And, finally, a cool quotation from "The Deep Things of God":
"When the outlines of both [the Trinity and the gospel] are clear, we should experience the shock of recognition: Trinity and gospel have the same shape! This is because the good news of salvation is ultimately that God opens his Trinitarian life to us. Every other blessing is either a preparation for that or a result of it, but the thing itself is God's graciously taking us into the fellowship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to be our salvation." (emphasis mine.)
Peace of Christ to you,
Jessica Snell
