Bits and Pieces #3 April 11, 2008
Posted by Kara in bits and pieces.trackback
Well, I missed last week b/c I was home sick and in bed most of the day Thursday and Friday… dang it…
I’ve also been pretty busy, so I haven’t had a ton of time to carouse around getting my fill of culturally relevant news articles.
Bit #1:
I did read an interesting article that was linked in my YS Update this week entitled Students of Virginity. It talks about Abstinence clubs on college campuses. What I found most interesting was the fact that a lot of these “clubs” are steering away from any religious reasons for abstinance and focusing on the factors that make waiting for marriage a smart choice regardless of ones religion (i.e. less disease, less baggage, better sex in marriage). I also liked the take of the main woman of the article, that abstinence isn’t snubbing one’s nose at feminism. It’s really embracing the feministic ideal that women can do and be anything… even if that means choosing to wait to have sex.
Bit #2
I don’t really have another Bit for this week, though I do have a stack of articles sitting waiting for me to read (I’ll probably take them to B&N this weekend for down time reading). If you want to know what I’ll be reading here are links:
Notes about Revelations from Dr. Lowery of LCCS
(I’ll also be reading an article about DeBunking the DiVinci Code by Dr. Lowery, but I don’t have a link for that)
Articles written about Atonement from Marco’s blog
Going from Good to Great in Youth Ministery from www.pdymblog.com
and all the Youth Ministry 3.0 excerpts from Marco (I’ve been printing them out so I can actually have time to think… so if I DO have a comment, it’s not a stupid one…)
I’m hoping that I’ll have some time to catch up on my reading and writing on Vacation in Denver next week…
Pieces for the week:
Piece #1
I’m going on Vacation to Denver… I cannot, cannot, CANNOT wait
Piece #2
After a 3 month hiatus, I start back up at Barnes and Noble again tonight… I really like it there, so I’m excited… I just hope they realize I’m going to need a refresher
