Grammy Whammy!

I had just flopped myself down on the couch. Jordan, Jay, and I had made a date to watch the Grammy's together. Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana (Milly Cyrus) came out and sang a cute duo, "Fifteen." Ahh, what great family time!

Then it happened... a young woman came out of a banana, dressed in a fruity costume. At first, I was amused and the song had a very catchy beat. But before I knew what had happened, I was yelling at the television set, " Is that girl promoting lesbianism on national television during primetime?" Jordan curled into a ball as if I was going to throw something at her and responded, "I don't know?" (I think I scared Jordan; I know I scared myself.)

I could have dealt with the large banana, even the fruity outfit, but the lyrics sent me into rage: "I kissed a girl and I liked it.... It felt so wrong, it felt so right.... I liked it". I grabbed my laptop and started my research: Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage-name, Katy Perry, is a Grammy-nominated American singer- songwriter, and musician. Born in California to pastor parents, she grew up listening to gospel music and singing in church. Perry rose to fame in 2008 with her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl." When Katy couldn't make it as a gospel singer she switched genres and sold out for fame.

I went to her website and watched the video. I wanted to vomit. In the video she is making out with girls. In the end she wakes up next to her boyfriend and is very disappointed that she isn't with girls.

I asked my teenage bible study class the next day if they had heard of the song. Not only had they heard it, they liked it. One girl said, "My mom turns it off then we're in her car, but she has no tolerance of homosexuality. I think, to each their own."

I remember being in high school and curious about everything sexually. Our kids are not different. They want someone to give straight, honest answers. Our kids are beginning to buy into the lie that God created them with sexual preferences. No!!! It's a bait from Satan and it's called sexual temptation. It's no different than someone wanting to have an affair. They might prefer it; but it doesn't make it right.

Everywhere our kids look, this message is being crammed down their throats. They are wearing out and giving in by being numb.

God created the family as a "mini me" of the Godhead. We are created in His likeness and His image. Our families represent the Trinity. We were put here to be fruitful (not in a fruity outfit), to multiply (now try that with two women), to fill the earth and subdue it.

I ask you, are we living in Sodom and Gomorrah? Are there any righteous left? Do we fight or run for the hills? "I kissed a girl and I liked it." Hmm, do you smell fire? (Genesis 19:6-23)
