It’s Here! — Issue #11
Welcome to our 11th ISSUE of Pure in Heart!
Cover art: At the Fish Ladder by Heather Dickinson, Issue #11.
ENTER ISSUE #11Well, Resurrection Day has come and gone (though it remains in our hearts), spring is in the air, summer is just around the corner, the sun is shining, baby birds are singing — which means … (drumroll) … it’s time for the newest issue of Pure in Heart!
Our little magazine has been growing in the number of readers and writers who want to glorify God, and it shows. In our 11th issue, we have a smorgasbord of creative work by kids, teenagers, students, teachers, parents, and writers and artists of all ages and backgrounds. We have a new, two-part saga of our favorite red-headed heroine (Beatrix), a recipe that will change the way you make scrambled eggs forever, poems that will touch your heart, make you smile, and urge you to be a blessing to others, stories that will make you laugh, maybe make you tear-up, and some that will kindle joyful warmth in your heart … and there’s so much more! There’s even a fun drawing game that will get the whole family laughing around the table (we know from experience).

Should young kids have #smartphones? These parents in Europe linked arms and said no
By JOSEPH WILSON and LAURIE KELLMAN
June 21, 2024BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — "Try saying 'no' when a child asks for a smartphone. What comes after, parents everywhere can attest, begins with some variation of: 'Everyone has one. Why can’t I?'
"But what if no #PreTeen in sight has one — and what if having a smartphone was weird? That’s the endgame of an increasing number of parents across #Europe who are concerned by evidence that smartphone use among young kids jeopardizes their safety and #MentalHealth — and share the conviction that there’s strength in numbers.
"From #Spain to #Britain and #Ireland, parents are flooding WhatsApp and Telegram groups with plans not just to keep smartphones out of schools, but to link arms and refuse to buy young kids the devices before — or even into — their teenage years.
[...]
"'When I started this, I just hoped I would find four other families who thought like me, but it took off and kept growing, growing and growing,' García Permanyer says. 'My goal was to try to join forces with other parents so we could push back the point when smartphones arrive. I said, ‘I am going to try so that my kids are not the only ones who don’t have one.'
"It isn’t just parents. Police and public health experts were sounding the alarm about a spike of violent and pornographic videos being witnessed by children via handheld devices. Spain’s government took note of the momentum and banned smartphones entirely from elementary schools in January. Now they can only be turned on in high school, which starts at age 12, if a teacher deems it necessary for an educational activity.
"'If we adults are addicted to smartphones, how can we give one to a 12-year-old who doesn’t have the ability to handle it?' García Permanyer asks. 'This has gotten away from us. If the Internet were a safe space for children, then it would be fine. But it isn’t.'
"The movement in Britain gained steam this year after the mother of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, who was killed by two teenagers last year, began demanding that kids under 16 be blocked from accessing social media on smartphones.
"'It feels like we all know (buying smartphones) is a bad decision for our kids, but that the social norm has not yet caught up,' Daisy Greenwell, a Suffolk, England-area mother of three kids under age 10, posted to her Instagram earlier this year. 'What if we could switch the social norm so that in our school, our town, our country, it was an odd choice to make to give your child a smartphone at 11? What if we could hold off until they’re 14, or 16?'"

To my daughter - “Are you okay?”
Quoth her - “I’m fine!”, slamming the door and raging.
“Ah yes,” quoth I, “this must be some strange usage of the word, fine, I wasn’t previously aware of”
