Fighting Porn At The Dentist

I did some porn-fighting at the dentist's office yesterday.  I removed an inappropriate magazine with the caption, "How J-lo got her butt back" and a horrid picture of Jennifer Lopez's backside on the front cover.   I left the building with it tucked under my arm, and I threw it in the recycling bin at the post office.

It was a small action, but it felt good.  I know I am one person, but I can make a difference in this fight against bad stuff.  We all can.

It's like recycling.  It may seem like one family could not make a difference to the earth by throwing some garbage away in a different container.  I know my kids would be relieved if we didn't recycle, but I believe that small efforts over time add up to big results.

I just had a thought:  What if that magazine were recycled into some paper that got sent to school children in poor countries, so they could learn to read and write?  I am subconsciously searching for  metaphors of beauty coming out of ashes. (Isaiah 41).
