There is a story that has been getting a lot play in the media the last few days. You may have seen it. A lady is suing the popular networking sight, FaceBook, because they asked her to take down the pictures she had posted of her breastfeeding her child. My first thought was, SERIOUSLY? Why would you ever post these pictures. I’m sure that inside of your family it’s a beautiful thing but dear God, do we really need to see these things. Now, all things being equal, I understand her premise for suing. She says that her pictures are no more provocative then some others posted on the sight. I agree, but what does it say about our society that we even have to have this debate. I don’t want or need to see pictures like this. I also don’t want to see pictures of people in the swim suits, underwear, making out, drunk, or anything else. Oh yeah, one more thing. I was having my lunch at Subway the other day and all of the sudden I look to my left and there is a woman breast feeding her child, talking on the phone while the other child was running amok destroying all the napkin holders in sight. Come on! Do the things that are private in private. I’m seriously annoyed at this type of thing and unfortunately it just seems to be getting more and more commonplace.
Yesterday was a great day of victory at TPC. I love watching new converts and seeing when the light “clicks” on. We also had a lot of our bus kids stay over for church and come to the altar. What a great experience to pray with them and watch the spirit of the Lord come over them! Every where that I looked yesterday people were receiving blessings, being slain in the spirit and dancing before the Lord. Awesome, awesome day.
I have been annoyed for a long while with the way that people name their children. What ever happened to normal names? Why do parents feel the need to saddle their children with these very unfortunate monikers? I was reading a list earlier today of some of these travesties. Here are a few of my favorites:
Girl Names: Tallula Bell, Moxie Crimefighter, Sailor Lee, Calico, Lark Song, Heavenly Hiranna Tiger Lily, Fushcia.
Boy Names: Banjo, Audio Science, Bamboo, Jermajesty, Pilot Inspektor, Messiah Ya’Majesty(hahahahahahahahaha), Indiana August.
Please, please, please! When you name your child give them something that will stand the test of time and not subject them to massive mockery by the other children name John, Mark, Matthew and Lucy.
A caveat to this post that will make me sound like a complete hypocrite: I’ve always been partial to naming a girl Storm. I know, I know. Can’t you just imagine little Stormy Hurst! Ah. I love it.
