Good Morning, God,
The prayer on Wednesday was about how we aren't being very good toward each other in very serious matters as Americans these days. Today we want to pray for the headline that involves
free speech, but is really a ridiculous thing to be bothered with.
It seems, Lord, that a young lady's hair is of concern to others. This young woman, Gabby Douglas, 16 years old, had just won the gold medal in the Women's All-around gymnastics Olympic competition with incredible performances, a huge smile, and a beautiful demeanor that gave the glory to you, God. But then the "tweety-birds started in about how she ought to do something, quote, "about her hair that was too straight or too kinky, and whether it was over-gelled or under-tamed, and what she could have done about that floppy bun...alright, if I were her mother, I would have put a headband on it," someone said.
Lord who made us the way we are, may we celebrate the beauty of an award-winning performance, or even just a person's inner beauty, without tweeting tackily about someone's hair!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
