Apr. 9, 2009 this is a long quote ,but a good one. I don't know this wise girl's name! :( but she is a very good girl indeed
The Father-Daughter retreat made me think about - you guessed it - the pop star Hannah Montana.
The life of Hannah Montana is the 'ideal' life for grade school girls across America.
Why? Because half of the time, she gets to be a 'normal' teenager - an eye-rolling, arguing, disrespectful teenager.
And the other half of the time, she is a world famous rock star, has everything she wants at a wave of her hand, and has all the boys and friends.
Christian families think this is okay.
It is NOT!
Remember what I said a few posts ago about 'feeling fair' and 'looking foul'?
Well this girl is like the White Witch - 'looking fair', but she 'feels foul.'
Why? you might say.
She's just a teen girl who can (or can't) sing!
What's wrong with that?
Her songs are all about girl power and realizing that boys aren't gross.
I repeat: What's wrong with that?
Well, let me rephrase it.
Her songs are all about femenism, and being boy-crazy.
Around Christmas time, I went into a very unwise Disney-freak stage.
I loved Disney! Singers, etc. and every time I watched a movie with one of the Disney stars in it, I would squeal and go "Oh, look! It's Selena Gomez!" or "Oh, look, it's Jesse McCartney!"
Fortunately for me, that didn't last very long.
But while I had it, I got a DisneyJams CD, and on it was the Hannah Montana song, 'G. N. O' which stands for 'Girl's Night Out."
You wanna know what it says?
"Don't call me leave me alone, I'm not gonna answer my phone, cuz I won't, and I don't, need you, hoo-hoo, I'm out to have a good time, to get you off of my mind..."
and then later it says "I'll dance with somebody new, won't have to think about you..."
And Christian parents are letting their little girls watch, listen to, and obsess over this!?
But wait, it gets better (or worse).
Suddenly near the end of the song, she starts talking in a sultry, mocking voice, and what does she say? "Hey, boy, don't you wish you coulda been a good boy? Try and find another girl like me, boy. You owe me when I tell you I am fine and it's time for me to draw the line..." repeat.
Sometimes I wish I didn't memorize songs after hearing them once or twice, but I do.
But, WHAT IS UP WITH THIS!?
Is that the attitude girls should take with boys? 'There are plenty of fish in the sea, just waiting to be hooked by you for a while, until you let it go and catch another?'
No, no, no, no, NO!!
This is dangerous stuff! This is like somebody taking poison, coating it with sugar, and saying "here, it's sweet! Nothing wrong with it."
Hannah Montana may taste good, but she's a poison as sure as I am sitting here - a slow-killing poison, like an IV drip that is slowly dripping drop after drop of sugared-up sin until it spreads throughout your system and you wish you hadn't ever taken that first drop.
Now, not ALL of her songs are bad, not ALL about her is bad.
But it's bad enough.
She is NOT a good role model, whatever! And she can't even sing well! That is MY personal opinion, anyway.
So stay away from the bad stuff. There's plenty of good stuff out there, if you just look for it.

Mar. 27, 2009 The Lord really spoke to me in this chapter and I urge all of you to read it.
Psalm 139
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. |
