Here is a good one for those of you who post on blogs, You Tube or even here on Common Good Radio. It is called, Creative Commons License.
In our media culture whether you are a digital native or digital immigrant, you need to know about what this notion means as it helps you navigate and communicate on the Interent.

Music
In terms of sharing and integrity, listen on CGR for some cool songs: Laura Nyro’s, Save the Country, sings about taking care of each other and getting our integrity on track, Pete Seeger’s, This Land is Your Land (again), where we are invited to not only think broadly about the ground on which we walk - but to rethink how the Europeans got the land, and Jesus Loves The Little Children, on a CD called, Ring the Bells of Heaven. This tune maybe familiar to Christian adults; when you sing it anew with your own kids try thinking about the example that Jesus sets according to scripture of loving everyone. Not just you and those like you - everyone. Mention it to the kids after you hear the song on CGR and see what they say. It can be as easy as, ‘do you think it was easy or difficult for Jesus to love everyone?’
If one of the ways you are involved with faith formation in your family is to be like Jesus, how does loving everyone effect the idea of sharing?
With thanks and blessings for the common good,
Pastor Robin
