Sometimes I think I'm such a cynic. Paris Hilton gets out of jail after serving about 3 weeks. She was in, then she was out, then she was back in, now she's out. And the press goes wild. Fans are everywhere. She has received her celebrity status back. In fact, she never lost it.
I see the same thing happening in life. There are those who brag about their past life. Then Jesus came along and saved their souls. Please don't get me wrong, I think that's wonderful. What I don't like is those who really like to talk about the sin. Instead of being humbled, instead of being ashamed, it's like a mark of pride.
Sin is ugly. Sin crucified our Lord. Praise God for the lives that are changed. But let's spend our time talking about the incredible work He did and less about the stupid things we did. Thanks for letting me rant. I hope your day is good. JW

Hey, hey and howdy, howdy!
I miss visiting with you. I pray all is well with you.
I can't find your email address so here's my blog:

I love you. Take care and God bless.
You speak such truth. It reminds me of Paul's words to the church in Philippi -
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Too often we are bombarded with and even seek out the "train wreck." We live the life God intends for us when we look for the good, dwell on Him not our own shortcomings.
Yet I am guilty of the morbid curiosity at times, too. Thanks for your message!
