repentant

I've developed this nasty little habit of stealing the New York Times Magazine from the gut of NY Times Sunday paper every week when I go to the library. It's just that I can't possibly justify using my time in that blessed establishment reading. I'm busy soaking up silence, trying to write, and doing other productive things...like blogging. So I have to take it home. Like leftovers. Save it for later.

Anyway, last week, the magazine featured women. Specifically "Why Women's Rights are the Issue of Our Time." I loved this article so much that I wanted to share. But how could I, in good conscience, ask my readers to go out and steal from their local library? I mean, I'm pretty sure there are like 30 of you. Such a kleptowave certainly wouldn't go unnoticed.

Solution: I googled the article. Turns out, NY Times Magazine is online. All of it. So I've been sullying my soul for no good reason. Anyway, all of that for this. Here's the link. Go and read it.

(I know, I know. Solution #2. Subscribe to Sunday's paper my/yourself. But come on, we're in a recession! (or just about to be out of it, or just about to really get into it...or something)).

Powerful article about the power of women. Just in time with this month's First Presidency Message I'd say. Truly, do we women really understand how fortunate we are to be women and to have our divinely appointed roles? I, unfortunately, find myself taking my role for granted far too often. But when I do sit down and ponder it, I gain little glimpses of the magnitude and blessing it is to be a woman. And I haven't even scratched the surface! Thanks for sharing this article and sorry for the little rant above, but you did star it all by guiding me to that article.

Fascinating. And for the love of Pete, how do these people stay in business when they put all their content online for free?
