Tsk, Tsk?

I know, it's been some time since I last posted a blog. Lots of stuff has come and gone since I last blogged. The Democrats have control of Congress. The President has sent more troops to Iraq to put down the insurgency. The Florida Gators and Indianapolis Colts are the reigning champions in their respective areas of football.

Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan dominated the news services worldwide.

Huh? With all of the stuff going on in our world, why are we so fixated on these two?

Lindsay parties with Paris and embarrasses herself. Britney parties with Paris and embarrasses herself. Britney and Lindsay party with Paris and they all embarrass themselves together. Lindsay checks into rehab. Britney checks into rehab, then leaves a day later, then checks back in a few days later. But not before she goes in and shaves her head.

And all of this leads the news items regularly.

The easy thing would be to bash both of these young ladies, say they embody all that is wrong with our society. The next-easiest thing would be to blast the media for over-exposing the escapades of these two (or three, if you count Paris Hilton).

But I can't help it...my heart breaks when I read about these two young ladies. Broken families, broken promises, empty lives that scream out for some type of fulfillment. Money, fame, sex disguised as love...none of it delivered. So both have taken to medicating themselves with alcohol or some other type of drug in order to find that fulfillment that has eluded them all of their lives.

Am I the only one who sees it?

Both of these girls need a relationship. A relationship with Jesus Christ. He would be the One who would give them both everything they have searched for.

Next time you read about them, pray that they would come to know Jesus Christ as Savior, would you?
