In your blogroll, you’ve probably come across themed days, like “Quick Take Fridays,” “Wordless Wednesdays,” etc. I had an idea for my own: Think Again Thursdays!

It happens quite often that I will come across some blog, some news story, some “informational” web page that totally dishes on natural methods of family planning, calling it ineffective, the Rhythm Method (it’s not the $#%! Rhythm Method!), or worse, something blasphemous about the church community and people of faith whose religion endorses NFP, family, children, and doesn’t buy into population control and the overpopulation myth.

Well, I can’t ask you all to write a letter or make a comment every day of the week, or every time I run across some misinformed person, which is often, but I thought it would be great to choose one day a week to bring to your attention someone who’s got the wrong idea about NFP, and to rally the pro-fertility troops to comment away, blog away, and email the unfortunate persons who frankly, need to THINK AGAIN.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

1. Check out the featured post of each Thursday, and comment/blog/ write away. Please be charitable, even in the face of disrespect.
2. Tell other people about Think Again Thursdays at NFPworks–use the share button on this entry for your social networking site of choice, or send out an email.
3. Find something ridiculous? Send it to me, and I’ll take a crack at it and post if it’s related.

Stay tuned for todays premier post!

I’m working on an article for Family Foundations again. It’s third in the series of three on NFP & Marketing, and it’s going to focus on new media. It’ll cover questions like

• What is new media? What are its forms
• Why is it important, growing and powerful?
• Where did new media come from?
• What are the benefits/ problems with new media?
• How can we use it to market, inform and fire up the grassroots movement of NFP?

Stay tuned, and keep me in your prayers. New job, new place, and (another!) move in the future are going to ramp up the stress factor.

My first in this series is in a back copy of FF, and the second will appear very soon.

[Update: the second and third articles in the series have been cancelled. Look for them in an upcoming post!]
