Women, remember the kind of bait you offer determines the kind of catch you get. Act like you want brothers. Act like you want guys who will be friends, not users; not conquerors. And men, cultivate sisters; a level of sharing and caring that the sexual conquerors will never even get close to. Treat her like family. She's your sister, man! And every sister needs a brother. 8-yr-old-guitar girl: music is a God-given means of communicationhttp://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/67532012-01-25T04:31:27-05:00
Here's some sheer musical talent to honor. And yes, Zoe Thomson is only 8. Her Stratosphere guitar is likely older than her.
Music is an integral part every culture, throughout history and across continents. We are hard-wired to communicate through music. The study of music in different cultures is called ethnomusicology.

We've seen a crop of good movies already this year – Hugo, Warhorse, The Artist, and The Iron Lady.
Culturewatch team Damaris has produced a range of discussion materials about life issues (not political issues) raised by The Iron Lady film Always Time for a Time Out - #6371http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/always-time-for-a-time-out-63712011-06-13T14:59:44-05:00

I'm not yet 30 years old, but my experience of the world growing up as a teenager is vastly different to that of teenagers today. It's been a shock to consider how different our worlds are.
Below are a couple of documentaries by PBS that explore how the internet is changing every aspect of our lives, and the challenges for children who are growing up in this very different world.

Likewise Bookshttp://ivpress.com/likewisebooks/2010-11-04T11:36:07-05:00
Likewise books are meant to help you make those choices. The good news is that culture adapts and changes. So we can shape what it will be. We can make culture, faithfully. That's Likewise. Go and do.
Likewise books, at their best, should work like parables. Books like The New Friars or Practical Justice are pictures of active faith meant to inspire you to get onto your donkey, or into your '92 Geo Metro, and go and do something similar. Something "likewise." True Woman Blog: True Woman Videos: Truth . . . and where it's foundhttp://truewoman.com/?id=9372010-09-08T14:01:00-05:00
Janet Parshall expresses concern for women who are being taken as “prisoners of war,” talks about the importance of truth, and explains where exactly to find it in a culture that doesn’t believe it exists.
