According to The Nielson Company, Americans spend 20 percent of their day watching TV.
Now that shows are, for the most part, wrapped up for the summer, girls in your ministry may be watching “So You Think You Can Dance” on Wednesday and Thursday nights on Fox. Basically, it’s “American Idol” for dancers, and I think it’s highly entertaining. Dancers perform fascinating routines in all types of genres. One thing I love about it is that the female dancers aren’t skinny. They’re dancers, so they have muscles (and you can see pretty much all of them because their costumes sometimes leave little to the imagination). No super-skinny ladies here, except for the occasional ballroom star who makes it into the top 20. If you or your girls watch it, here are some things to think about/discuss:
• What do you think about the dancer’s costumes?
• How do those dancers showcase the amazing things our bodies can do?
• How does this show make you feel about your body?
• What things/issues/ideas does this show lift up?
• Do any of the routines make you uncomfortable? Why?
Summer reading
As I shared on the blog a few weeks ago, I recently saw Water for Elephants. It was a decent movie, and one that older teens could probably handle seeing. My book club just read the book that the movie is based on (I hate that I saw the movie before I read the book!), and I must say that the movie is cleaner than the book. When I heard that some students had Water For Elephants on their summer reading list for school, I was shocked! There are some pretty graphic scenes dealing with a stripper, a threesome, masturbation, and extramarital/premarital sex. I think this is not acceptable reading material for our students at all, and it definitely should not be recommended as summer reading for them.
Are there any other books your students want/are required to read right now that you’re not sure about? Leave a comment, and hopefully we can all help each other out!
