I'm going to be on my pedestal for a few minutes....

So - I love pop culture and I love reading about celebrities. I check a few different websites and one of them that I regularly check will remain nameless. It is pretty raunchy, inappropriate, & annoying - but always incredibly accurate. Often I feel like maybe I shouldn't read it, since it can be quite unholy - but today I'm swearing it off forever.

The blogger is usually very harsh on celebrities and his main point in blogging is to humiliate them. Today, however, I made the decision to swear him off for good. He advertised, on his own website an article that Rolling Stone did on him. This quote on Britney Spears reminded me that there is a reason we have to draw lines sometimes between ourselves and the world:

He has a fantasy about her. In this fantasy, Britney has been paid lots of money to host a big club event. It's packed. The press is there. Britney is doing lots of drugs. She passes out. An ambulance takes her to the hospital. For the next two weeks, she's in a coma. Outside the hospital, there are "vigils, prayer circles and all that stuff." Finally, she comes out of her coma and vows to do better with her life. The point of the fantasy is, those two weeks with Britney in a coma are his idea of heaven: "Oh, my God, such a great story. I love it.
I feel really passionate about praying for celebrities and praying that God redeems all of pop culture for His glory, since He created the idea of culture in the first place. This is where I have to draw the line though... blogs are fun to read, but I'm not supporting the crazies like this anymore.

So.... I've been thinking

This is sort of a weird thing to say - but I'm thinking about taking the blog a little more GLOBAL. I read a lot of great mommy/christian/pop culture blogs daily. HOWEVER I don't really ever read any that encompass all three! So I got to thinking... while I don't have any special wisdom or advice to give - I can let my blog be a segway to the world of Internet parenting, celebrities, and Christianity ... at least the parts of the Internet that I can find!

I really do think it's so refreshing that Christ allows us to be who He created us to be with Him at the center. He happened to make me semi-obsessed with culture and burdened for celebrities, drawn to pregnant women and interested in parenting, AND extremely thankful to be called one who knows His grace. It's just beautiful to me that I can be a Christ-follower who loves other things (that He created) and this blog is my shout of thanks to Him for that.

So I'll be including a lot more links to great website that fall into those categories, while still keeping some of my fave personal ones to catch up on. I'll probably alternate my blogs with interesting things concerning different subjects - with the occasional personal musing.

OKAY.... I hope this is not only fun for me but readers alike:)
