Dead at 48. Does anyone need to wonder why? I just remember a few of her music videos during the 80’s, and was sad later to see the interviews where she looked as strung-out as any crack addict, while claiming crack was too cheap for hear. What makes the more expensive stuff any better though, really?

Pardon the “pasting” error on this post. I’m using a smartphone that is smarter than I am. :)

So another Junkie dies, who cares?? Why people get so enthralled with these court jester types is beyond me, for the most part they are losers and arguably the dumbest people I have ever met.

Not to be insensitive, but back in the day the pundits called Elvis “just another dead doper” upon his death.

So many great talents lost to drugs, sad. I don’t know what caused the end this women’s life, but I do know that drugs were a great contributor if not the final arbiter.

Enough already. Look, she was a once very talented young lady who blew it on drugs and selling her soul for the “life”. We don’t need another two weeks of the MSM accolades heaping praise on another fading and failed dead junkie.

I don’t follow the pop culture but as soon as I heard she sang in the choir as a child, I knew she like Elvis died daily in their lives by carrying the convictions of their sins. Both of these singers were given a gift from God, which was a reminder daily of how much He loved them. But no, they turned around and said thank you to the Devil. That is why they were so tortured. May God have mercy on both Whitney and Elvis’ souls.

I am so disappointed with what I’m seeing on thread. I’m not star struck and don’t mourn her passing more or less than any the death of any of Gods children. But to read things in the vein of “just another dead junkie” on what I had thought was a Christian website saddens me.

Jesus made it very clear that if we judge others in an absence of grace, we will not receive his grace.

We are all hopelessly flawed and fall short of what God demands from us. Her failings may have more dramatic than those posting such things but none of us deserve Gods grace. This is the amazing thing about God’s grace; it’s forgiveness we don’t deserve. And God’s grace knows no limits.

And by the way, the last song she sung publicly was an impromptu rendition of “Jesus Loves me.” I have sinned too many times to judge her. I need God’s grace.

The liberal cult leads to hopelessness, emptiness and death. Welcome to obamaville.

Pray for America
