  1. Avatar...what a terrible movie. Gone with the Wind The Wizard of Oz
  2. Whew, this is exhausting. I'm going to go ride my bike and recover. Have a good weekend.
  3. I think I'm going to mind-map this thread and see where it heck it goes. :tongue_smilie:
  4. I will add that I too see this as a wonderful dream, but the fact remains if you have a church community that is destitute, where in the world are they going to get the money to help each other? The assumption that a church can support those in needs, presupposes that it's congregants have the financial means to do so.
  5. My family just received an opportunity for a home in Tulle, France next summer. Has anyone been to this area in France?
  6. But it's quite pertinent to the discussion. The fact remains 3/4 of our GDP relies on consumption. People who stay home do not directly and measurably contribute to the overall GDP and are therefore less valued. Our society benchmarks value on economic contribution.
  7. But it is something we men can learn to do. I know full well that I have some learning and changing to do when it comes to my daughter. I also know full well that I am much more attuned to the overall emotional energy in our home than my wife.
  8. I'm one that appreciates gender bending. I can at once comfort my children from fear and tear the heart out of anyone who may bring them harm. I can cook, clean, do laundry, change nappies and then go kick butt. Meet the demands of my wife? She knows better. But I will listen to her concerns and desires; I will comfort her in need; I will be empathetic toward her; I will change my patterns of behavior when necessary to benefit the foundation and integrity of our relationship. It's actually pretty nice being a modern man. Interesting question that certainly makes me want to write so much more than I have time for.
  9. Cammie's thread on a father's ritual with his daughter got me to thinking (even harder). http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/fashion/21GenB.html I'm currently looking at ways to create and cherish more ritual in my family. I'm particularly interested in ways I can create ritual with my daughter. She'll be staying home after her Montessori K year and I want to find ways to connect on a deeper level. I'm looking for some ideas to mull over. Thanks.
  10. Thanks for the article. I'm currently looking at ways to create and cherish more ritual in our family. I'm particularly interested in ways I can create ritual with my daughter, she'll be staying home after her Montessori K year. I'll be posting a new thread on this topic. Thanks.
