I've posted too many off-topic articles lately, but simply have to chime in on this one. I happened to see that in the current Shepherd Express' "News of the Weird", a blurb appears about the Quiverfull movement. The following quote is included: "The more children I have, the more ability I have to impact the world for God."
Commentary: That this quote would be held up for scorn and ridicule shows me that in so many ways, the problem with our society is not that values have been twisted, warped or distorted. We're way beyond that. The problem is that we're living in a moral Bizarro World in which white is black and black is white.
I don't have kids myself, so there is no judgment here on any individual, nor would I ever second-guess anyone's personal decision to responsibly remain childless. Still, in the grand scheme of things, I know that this little blog is not very important. Having kids: Very Important. Therefore, I want to offer this humble forum as a response, and uphold the above quote as something true and beautiful.
And while I'm grateful to the Shepherd Express for the flattering article and picture of last year, I think I'll leave that paper on the stack from now on.
