The fact that many Americans simply want to watch "as the powerful fall" shows that we're no better than bullies and name callers. On another level, I am grieved for her. I am concerned that her path leads toward taking her own life-- as everything goes from sky high to the ground. Someone needs to step in there to get her act together. You're right, Arthur, she needs a Savior. She needs something to change her life. We can certainly pray that that happens. On one level, watching her “train wreck” is a sad way to spend our time.

That's a lot for someone to deal with and without Christ, who could?

I went through some pretty rough depression after I had my last baby. She's ten months old now, and I just now feel like I'm coming out of it. God worked major things from it, taught me much, with much (tough) refining, and I use Brittany as my model of despair when referring to the depression sometimes. Obviously we don't know what's really going on, if there is depth to it at all, but on a superficial level I relate to her. Ah, Brittany.

Ouch! Did you know that Britney Spears was raised in the Church? I remember when I first became aware of her troubled life, I was taking a train up from North Carolina and I saw a picture of Britney on People Magazine with half her head shaved. I think the headline read something like "A Cry for Help." ... I was actually a Britney anti-fan up to that point, but when I saw what she was doing my heart went out to her. Clearly Britney is a victim of the sinful world (and her own sinful nature of course.) She has been buying into the lies of the enemy and I don't think she sees a way out. I just pray that God is sending a witness to her. Remember, the people in the news aren't just the idolatrous images we make them out to be, they are real people with real souls in need of a real Savior. Maybe it's not time to stop talking about her. Maybe, if you think really hard and your readers lend their support, we can find a way to each Britney with the Gospel... That would be awesome don't you think? Wow… Ouch! Did you know that Britney Spears was raised in the Church?
