Clay Aiken

Sometime last week in the morning, I heard my husband saying something like, "Oh my gosh..." He came running down and said, "You will not believe this, they just said on the news that Clay Aiken is gay." Well a part of me was in shock. I mean after all the talk and even one of my good friends questioned me about it. I denied it...well he did appear in a Christian magazine denying the fact that he was. I purchased at least 3 of his CDs, I watched several of his videos, I read magazine articles, I rewatched several runs of American Idol. He couldn't possibly be gay.

I got to thinking...this announcement he made has got to be a fluke. Isn't there a chance that he is NOT gay? I mean with everyone harrassing him, maybe he just wanted everyone to get off his back and leave him alone? But then again, why would he allow himself to go through all the publicity that he has now put on himself if he really isn't. I have to say that I am disappointed. I mean he is a decent human being, he says he is a born-again Christian...what part of the Bible does he not believe in if he is? There are several references in the Bible against homosexuality. So maybe he hasn't really had a serious relationship with anyone...does that make him gay? Why is it that it seems to be the "in thing" to be gay? I mean just recently we read about Ellen Degeneres' (my husband calls her Degenerate) gay marriage; about some Japanese guy that played on Star TrEk - marriage. Then I read about Lance Bass' relationship with another man and what is this about Lindsay Lohan? All of these said people make me wanna barf. Please Clay, do not follow the way of Hollywood. I am so confused and sadly, disillusioned. What is up with people? People like Elton John, Clay Aiken, Ellen Degeneres have so much influence in the world; on the young generation. What is this world coming to? The next thing I will be hearing from CA is that "he was born this way." If he says this, I will be deeply saddened.

Come on Clay, wake up from this horrific nightmare and find your way back the Father...

Fireproof

Well my husband and I went to see the movie Fireproof. This movie surpassed all of my expectations. If you like a love story and action along with comedy then this movie is for you. This movie also includes at least two actors that appeared in Facing the Giants. I can't say that I have seen FTG (even though I own it), but from what I hear, it was a great movie. Along with FP, Kirk Cameron is to be applauded on his performance. The women actresses were not really that great, the men were better. Christians need to be supporting these kinds of movies...Christian actors in mainstream media. It has a great story line and even though it is mostly for married couples, it has a great message for young people who are looking for a mate.

I have watched KC growing up watching Growing Pains when I was younger. I remember when I was a teenager, I had posters of him hanging on my walls. It pleases me to no end that he is a born-again Christian and doing so much good for children who are terminall illy (?) 

Kudos to Kirk Cameron and to the movie Fireproof!!
