Wednesdays wandering and wonderings of the web...

It has been such a busy week while I prepare to leave my high school long term subbing assignment and head down to the elementary wing where I will teach 5th grade for the remainder of the year. A lot going on in the classroom, my son turned 10 today so we have been celebrating with him since Sunday, my husband returned to work (this is normal!) and will be on 12 hour shifts for the next 20 or so days in a row. Life is a little crazy right now. But, better late than never, here is my wanderings on the web this past week...

1) Sex trafficking is a huge issue that we know little about. We think it happens somewhere else. MN needs to wake up. We are ten on the list of states where trafficking is an issue. Our Indian reservations, Duluth and the Twin Cities are targets and ports for trafficking our women and children. There is a serious need for awareness to be raised on this issue. Here is an article to get you started.

2) "Can you hear me now?" You have to check this out... Cell phones turn 40!

3)This article was recommended by a pastor friend of mine. "The problem When Sexism Just Sounds So Darn Friendly"

4) Latino Reformation Read the TIME Magazine article here.


5) "Obituary for the Residential Seminary" A blog post by Tony Jones. If you haven't already read this, check it out here.

6) Living Lutheran explores "Why kids act differently in church and that's OK" Read the article about kids, electronic use and worship here.

7)I saw this cartoon on Facebook the other and had to share it here and check out the blog post.

“When people become something to convert, assimilate, or modify, they’ve become targets.”
