'Shame' is definitely now in the Conversation...and that's good

Last week was a week of 'Shame' and 'Honour' articles turning up all over the place.

I received emails from various newsletters in recent days etc directing me to no less than  8 articles in one week!

They are filled with lots of food for thought about these issues in our world today - the Western world in particular.  These are issues that have very much been a part of everyday life in our part of the world. Now the 'West' is starting to feel their impact a bit more heavily as the reality of 'Mis-placed Shame' begins to seep into a society that is more than ever seeking its identity in the eyes of people and society and social media rather than in the eyes of God.  

These issues are not about to go away anytime soon...

Here are the links to the articles which I encourage you to take a look at:
