Awards shows make me uncomfortable. Likely, it’s all the patting each other on the back and talk about ‘idols’ and ‘legends’, ‘pride’, and what not. There’s something else, though. Lately, a lot of folks online are celebrating that so many singers/actors get up at these televised shows and before millions, become emotional thanking God for the honor. I’ve said it one and two million times, but nobody listens to me so I suppose it bears repeating? Seeing someone standing up on stage, sobbing, clutching a golden statue, giving a speech about how much it means to them that a group of other humans decided they were worthy of the statue isn’t out of the ordinary. What causes me to scratch my head, though, is when the person clinging to the statue then thanks God for it. Idols and seeking approval from worldly entities which not only promote all sorts of secular behavior and morality, but often makes special effort to punish those who do promote Biblical principles…I mean, that part’s muddy for me. That’s the part I’m still seeking clarity on. I’ll let you know when I’m feeling less itchy about it. In the meantime, if you’ve got any insight, please feel free to comment below.
Thanks for checking in. ♥
