In which these are some random acts of linkage

April 28, 2009

(First of all, a clarification.  I have a post I’m working on about the Differences between Americans and Canadians (totally tongue in cheek, of course) and inadvertently published it yesterday. My bad to those of you that saw it in its raw form here or in your Reader. You’ll see it again sooner or later but hopefully not quite so ugly.)

So here is what caught my eye this week around The Internets….

I’ve just started to sponsor another child through Compassion International.

Why?

Well, read these and you’ll see.

This video? It. Rocked. And very much sums up so much. So watch it, please.

Labels and Being a Christian Feminist h/t Linda at Christian Feminism

Along the same gender lines, Jonathon at Mission Dei has had my pounding my kitchen table and shouting “FINALLY!” Of course, it won’t make much change but at least he wrote it.

This post by Jennifer at Conversion Diary made me cry. Despite my non-Rosary-praying, I totally get this. Welcome to How Mums Find the Sacred in the Everyday 101.

Completely different topic but no less relatable. BooMama made me cry. And it’s because I laughed so hard. Oh, bless her bacon-loving heart.

A weekly series that I quite enjoy is over at SortaCrunchy called “As He Leads Us” which is basically the beginning stages of a book about attachment parenting from a Christian perspective. All of it is brilliant but I particularly enjoyed this one written by a father.

Another one from Jennifer at Conversion Diary made me stand up and shout. Because this is absolutely the biggest thing I miss about my life before children.

And people wonder why I am the Nap Nazi.  Now you know why I turn my life upside down to make sure my tinies get their naps.

This one is good news for me if I ever have another baby. After all, I’ll be striving for Home Birth instead of Parkade Birth.

Women who breastfeed their babies may be lowering their own risk of a heart attack, heart disease or stroke, research suggests.

    Aha! No wonder I couldn’t leave a comment on your American-Canadian post. You did that on purpose didn’t you?

Then highlight them and click on the button that looks like a globe with a chainlink on it. Then type in or paste the web address and click OK. Or you can do the old-fashioned HTML way but I think that this is easier.

    4/28/2009 3:58 PM EmergingMummy (message) delete reply Brittaney, when I wrote Call To Men it came on the heels of a very important conversation brewing. And my later post, Where Are The Women, did stir a large organization to rethink AND change their leadership page to reflect one that women were valued. Just wanted to let you know.

    4/28/2009 8:23 PM Tasia007 (message) block delete reply And just to let you know, I checked out and read at least half of your links. Aren’t I amazing. Also, I seriously miss you. And Brian too, I guess!
