Monday round-up! {6/27/11}
/
No one commented at the end of last week's Monday round-up when I asked if you liked this sort of post or not, so if you have an opinion either way, let me know! I still haven't decided if this will be a regular thing or if I'll go back to writing a regular post for Mondays.
Do you look away from disability?: During both of my pregnancies, especially my second one during which I was in bed for a while, I camped out at BabyCenter. This is a thought-provoking article with even more interesting comments. There was also a related article in the NY Times this week.
This and this and this and this and this and this and this are all recent articles I came across about churches who are embracing people with special needs.
This dad of twin boys with autism does an excellent job describing autism in general and the joys and struggles of parents. (While he does describe his children as miracles, I don't know what his faith is.)
Focus on the Family posted this article from the Summer 2011 edition of their Thriving Family magazine about a mother's experience thinking that parents or kids with special needs were superhuman and then becoming one of those parents.
MassMutual graduated their first class of agents designated as Chartered Special Needs Consultants (ChSNC™). Read about it here.
Here's a press release about a study from Baylor indicating that church congregations are blind to mental illness.
And if you haven't seen this life-affirming commercial from Pampers, enjoy!
