links I'm loving in disability ministry: God's sovereignty, Down syndrome angels?, mental illness, & a new school year

Disability and the Sovereign Goodness of God: This e-book from Desiring God, by John Piper and Tony Reinke, is invaluable... and free!

My kids have Down syndrome - but that doesn't make them angels! This post is in line with a chat I had yesterday morning at church with a mom about how her son, a precious little guy with Down syndrome, is a sinner in need of loving discipline just like any other kid.

Where is God in mental illness? "While I can’t honestly say I’m glad to have a mental disorder, I do feel grateful for the way God has used it to enlarge my view of Him as He replaces my simplistic and moralistic childhood faith with something far more substantial: Trust in a God who has promised to complete what I cannot."

Where are you headed as a special needs parent for school? It's that time of year, the start of a new school year. Here's a post to remind us that families affected by disability have more concerns than their supply lists and class assignments.
