Modesty: Toby has been writing about a touchy subject. “Well, summer is on its way, or perhaps it is here for some parts of the country. And along with the warmer weather comes an issue that has been of concern to me for some time. The issue is… MODESTY.”
Mailbag: Yesterday I received the following email: “Let’s beat the [removed] out of our kids—for Jesus! Yeah, that works. The highest divorce rate is in the Bible Belt. The highest incidence of child abuse and infanticide? Among fundamentalists of all stripes. You and Osama Bin Laden have more in common that you and Jesus. Who did Jesus beat? What country’s did Jesus attack. Shame on you! I hope there is a hell—it’s just for you wicked misguided monsters.”
Weird: Some crazy guy decided to impersonate a police officer. For kicks he pulls over a guy and attempts to charge him with speeding. Turns out he actually pulled over a real cop. Oops.

Modesty is what I’ll be talking about in my radio programme in the coming weeks. I’ll be focussing particularly on teaching kids about modesty.
I’ve just finished posting on my blog about kids growing up too fast and awakening their sexuality too early.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who attracts the crazies, Tim. I often get e-mails that leave me shaking my head.
Wow! Your “secret admirer” needs to get into writing horoscopes. That email had absolutely nothing to do with you personally, and yet managed to talk ad nauseum about a subject that the writer knows nothing about.
That e-mail is worse than the ones I get that I thought were horrid. wow. disheartening.
Regarding modesty… I have 2 girls that I try so hard to find modest clothes for and they are only 3 and 5. Modest clothes are out there… but it is sad how much harder it is to find them than the clothing that looks like Brittany Spears on a 3 year old.
Yes, my secret admirer doesn’t seem to admire me all that much. She sent me another one shortly after, going on a rampage about a Christian author whom I don’t even know.
Someone needs help.
