I am back in the saddle this week. Beginning with a Feast, and another few posts browning in the oven... Appetizer What is your favorite fruit? I love love love fruit. I would rather have fruit that chocolate! Blueberries are a long time favorite. Mom tells a story about going to a pick-your-own blueberry farm with me when I was around 18 months old. She parked at the end of a row and put me in the back of the car with the tailgate open, giving me some toys to pass the time. When she went back to check on me, I was out of the car, sitting beneath a bush, and shoving ripe blueberries into my mouth as fast as I could pick them. Soup Who is someone you consider as a great role model? Just one? I'd have to go with my dad. He has overcome such adversity in his life, and never cried, "Poor me." Dad just takes what's handed to him and keeps plugging away. Salad If you were to spend one night anywhere within an hour of your home, where would you choose? Wow, I ha...

A few years ago, the youth director at our church came to my dh (our pastor) and said, "In this town, if a girl wants a boyfriend, she has to have a girlfriend." I thought that was really interesting and certainly a shift from when I was in school....
I still think the statistics are interesting.....11% they quote as being in these relationships (same-sex) and yet their age ranges overlap.
There's no question but that things are more "open" than they used to be. I went downtown to pick my teen son up at the movies one night and got quite a show of "same-sex" public displays of affection!!
I have adult gay friends and acquaintances...the thing that bothers me is that this is so much a part of the identity and that the tolerance for what happens in public has gone up so high.
Amazing!
This article is disturbing on so many levels. I remember hearing about this on talk radio. The writer was interviewed by Laura Ingram and well, wow.
I'm trying to teach my children that part of having respect for yourself involves not 'giving it away' on a whim, a dare, pressure, etc. Raging hormones will crave a wild ride, but if you've drawn a line you can choose not to get on the roller coaster. Regardless of sexual preference.
I'd not read the entire article, thanks for the link! C
