It has been incredibly sad to watch the news reports over the last couple of weeks about the sad ending of the life of Anna Nicole Smith and the eventual demise of Britney Spears. It seems like the media (and average people for that matter) are consumed with the goings-on of celebrities and the ups and downs--unfortunately focusing (gladly) on their downs. Last night I watched new images of a bald Spears fill my TV screen as she was enraged over something gone wrong (yet again) in her life. She has been in and out of rehab clinics the last week and from what I understand is back in rehab as of today. As I watched what NEWSWEEK magazine recently called The Girls Gone Wild Effect, the look on Britney's face caught my attention the most. I looked in to the eyes of someone so spiritually and emotionally lost and I was immediately reminded of the verse in Mark 8:36, "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" Oh, I pray some one will come into her life and speak truth in love about a God who created her wonderously beautiful and loves her passionately--unlike those who profit from her vulnerability.
