Disney Channel to Media.
So tonight I heard something interesting. “Being a young woman is harder than carrying a porkypine purse through a ballon shop.” It is so true, kinda like the idea of walking on egg shells. This quote was on some show on the Disney Channel. I love that the new shows they have for kida are actually targeting the issues in today’s society. When I was little, I don’t remember seeing shows about kids with eating disorders, drug issues, STDS, high school drop outs, young people with jobs, or seperated families. It’s just amazing how things change so fast, but its great to now be able to watch TV and relate on some level. now with the media, that is still a big issue. I means ure most of America has become obese, but look at the media…they are the ones who started the process, the advertise candy and processed foods. Another thing is that everything is so expensive, we try to save money by choosing not so healthy food choices and in the long run we spend the money one buy new clothes to fit the food that stuck to our hips and tummies. Or we become so unhealthy and unaware of our bodies needs that eventually we suffer health issues related to being overweight causing us to spend more money on medical issues and the price of insurace sky rockets. The media has become greedy, and its stealing away the happiness of America for what? More money? We need to stand up to the media… we are so self-absorbed as americans that we forget those who are in greater need.
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in eating healthy or exercising or just wanting to be pretty the way society says pretty is(what a waste of time)… I could be spending time with God. Sometimes I spend money on things I really don’t need, that money coould go to charity, sometimes I work a lot to buy the things I don’t truely need….but that time, its God’s, not mine… I should use it for the better, to make someone smile, to help feed a foreign country, to give a stanger hope.
My heart is so set on God its hard to see this world come crashing down.
Any comments? Don’t be shy.

amen. and its quite possible that those points were hit on when you were younger, but ever think you were to young, or, had the view of a child, instead of the young woman as you are now? eh? television targets different people different ways.
