Over the past month I have had several posts featured a few other blogs. I’ve linked to most of them here already, but since I noticed that there was 7, I thought I might as well do a little round-up here for a 7 Quick Takes Friday:

First, many thanks to the Archbold boys for giving me some space on their blog. I did four “guest posts.” I love those guys and their blog! It was an honor!:

1. Horror! Mom Kills Son in Womb to Spare Him Any Pain

2. Suffering, Love and the Paradox of the Cross

3. The Beauty of Human Weakness

4. IVF. A Modern Horror

While I was out of town, I was very surprised and tickled to get an email saying that American Life League‘s Judie Brown was requesting permission to re-print one of my posts a guest commentary for her “Straight Talk on Life” column. I’ve now had three of my posts (two from a few years ago) re-printed there:

5. The Difference Faith Makes Original here

6. Contraception: Morally Wrong in Every Circumstance Original here

7. How Can There Be Too Many Children? Original here

Bonus: if you never read it, back in February I wrote a column for the Patheos Catholic Portal: Refusing to Suffer is Refusing to Live
