The demise of Blonde bombshells

In recent weeks tabloids have been going bananas over the demise of blonde bombshell Anna Nicole Smith. In the last year her son died, the fatherhood of her child was under question, she became ill and then she killed herself overdosing on drugs. Recently Brittany spears has been making headlines for getting a divorce, struggling with drug abuse, flashing in public, mis-handling her child and now shaving her head. Many have argued that this is meaningless poperazzi hype. But I believe this is hinting at something vital. What is happening is an old lesson being illustrated before our very eyes. It is easy to see the history of Anna Nicole. Her rise to stardom as a playboy playmate, her participation in movies, the tabloids and reality show fame documented her life. We see that she acquired nearly a billion dollars through her convenient marriage to J. Howard Marshall. Along with money she acquired through magazines, TV, commercials etc. For her to sell her sexuality for money is prostitution. Much of her lifestyle was contradictory to Biblical teaching and living. She grew up in a small, Christian town but she never announced herself to be a bible believing Christian. And from the things she has said she probably didn’t make time in her life to really consider having a grounded worldview. One could have watched her program and tell that she seemed very simple and immature for her age. When you acquired massive worldly wealth and live a pampered lifestyle there isn’t very much need for maturity and learning. Yet when she suffered pain it was obvious. When shown footage of her reaction to her son’s death, you could see the raw pain and emotions coming out of her. I feel a great deal of petty for her plight and yet she walked in a path that was destined and obviously leading toward this demise. Brittany spears also left her Southern Baptist up bringing to be a young , sexual advertisement to America. What is obvious to her story is that as she grew and demanded herself to grow up she did not mature with it. In the last year her behavior has become chaotic and it is anyone’s guess if she is going to survive this or commit suicide. It has to be obvious that if you pursue the pleasures of the world you will not be pursuing happiness.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Anna Nicole’s spouse Howard K. Stern asked for people to pray for Anna’s soul. Sadly it is just too late for that. All the promise of life her is gone. She had had massive amounts of treasure here on earth where moth and rust decay. But what promise is there in the next?
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Is your treasure in Heaven with Jesus or the world?
