joey koskie passed this link on....an astonishing clip of how dehumanizing advertising can be. we have been spending much time in our weekly gatherings celebrating human personhood - affirming the fact that we believe in the bodily resurrection and that our bodies are not 'baggage' dragged behind a soul. our bodies are essential to who we are and who we will become. therefore, ugliness, beauty, clean, and unclean are all important categories for us to re-imagine in light of a Jesus-inspired anthropology. but here is what each of us is up against as we are marinated in western consumer culture....http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/flat2.asp?id=7134

I made a small change in my interactions with kids; around Church, around town, around me at any time. I try to say something true and positive about them and to them. Everyday. Things like; "you're funny, I like that" - or "wow, you are very smart" generous, graceful, beautiful, strong, and on and on. Kids give me thousands of opportunities for me to see.
I really want them to hear at least one message a day that affirms and confirms them as one of God's treasures.
And, I'm kinda feeling guilty for my 20 years as an advertising professional....
