pop culture

Ok, I admit it. I'm a sucker for pop culture. I cried when Brad & Jennifer split up. I read the occasional UsWeekly or InTouch when I'm working at the mall. Recently there was a picture of Seal and Heidi Klum in an article was about what to wear for your wedding when you are pregnant. It praised them for breaking the taboo of a shotgun wedding. That bothered me, but I finished reading the magazine anyway.
That night in my devotions, I read this verse: "That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15. I was like WOW! People read celebrity magazines and look up to these people and in many cases, what they are reported as doing is so wrong in God's sight. Later I read this verse from Proverbs 8:35. "For whoso findeth me (wisdom), findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord." I was struck by how much better it is to have favour of the Lord than to be highly esteemed among men!

I went straight from the mall and didn't bother going into the game cuz it was just about over. I had a sandwich while I was waiting and when he finally showed up, he got a drink and ordered his wings to go. We chatted hockey for a while and called one of our friends who was supposed to show up and didn't. By this time, it was getting late and I had to work early, so we left. As we were walking out, he was like "Oh, the guys are just getting on the bus. I need an autograph from NP. Do you want to walk over there with me?" I shrugged and followed him over. It's not that far, b...
