Soul Care is an opportunity for me to feature the writers whose words act as a catalyst in stimulating new thought or clarifying confusions. These are entries I believe are just plain worth reading.
When I read a blog entry that I think others should read too, I save that entry. In my “Favorites” file, I have created a folder called Soul Care so that when the time comes, I can put my finger on the right file. I am not sure how it happened but this entry from March 29, 2007 was saved in the wrong folder. Read as Elise of A Path Made Straight tells the story of how she taught her son to understand the concept of grace.
Next, Ethan at The Nettle and The Myrtle asks, “Is God Imaginary?“

Do miracles occur? Link over to Doug E. of Godward Thoughts as he discusses the logic of miracles in On Miracles and David Hume (Part 1).
Adopted-the-Movie features this short YouTube video about the common misconception that people who are adopted are “lucky.” (HT: Janet Shaw, author of Beyond the Red Door)
This may seem to be rather eclectic, but so is my life. The blogs I read fall into four general categories: Haitian adoption blogs, home school mom blogs, Christian/inspirational blogs and blogs whose authors seek to understand and even celebrate neurodiversity.
In “Don’t hate the player, hate the game,”Jeff McNair at Disabled Christianity examines how presuppositions can lead a whole society to make a bad decision without any underlying malice, intent or hidden agenda. (Scroll past archives in the right hand sidebar to read Jeff’s post.)
Thus for many people to all work toward a bad thing requires no deliberate or conscious conspiracy ~ Dr. Wolfensberger
Last, while tag surfing tonight, I found Mike Stanton’s blog, Action for Autism. In his entry tonight, Downs but not out, Mike pleads for autism acceptance in the face of a medical community that seeks to cure or eliminate differences. Oh, and What is Neurodiversity is wonderful argument asking that we begin to view autism not as a pathology or a disorder, but a different kind of order

I’m so glad that piece spoke to you in some way!
I share from a mama’s heart that is overwhelmed most days, and therefore thrilled when she gets a nugget of truth and grace – whatever form it may take! Most days, it is a five year old, or an eight year old, or a baby…
Thank you for sharing my link!
