Anybody talk about Whitney Houston yesterday in a sermon or Bible class? I did, since the sad note fit into a sermon point quite well. See my outline, through Google Translate’s bad rendering: http://is.gd/whitneyhouston

I did not talk about her, but I did give much thought to the brevity of life to such a one as young as she.

She wasn’t mentioned here. Did pray for her daughter though.

Oddly enough, we didn’t. The topics we covered in the Galatians class didn’t fit with the incident and the sermon didn’t either. One of the members suffering from severe depression for decades had gone to yet another doctor, this time up in Chicago. He prescribed a new medication, actually more like a supplement, that has kept her depression free for over 2 weeks. We are all pretty excited/emotional over this and it eclipsed anything else. We’re thanking God for answered prayer.

I did mention her death, but not her name, since I was commenting on John’s statement that, at the Judgment scene, he saw “the small and great.” On earth, some are greater than others in fame and influence. The passing of most of us will draw little attention down here.

I didn’t hear about it until after we got home from evening worship.

Thanks for chiming in, y’all! Her death seems to be getting lots of attention in the media. Perhaps a teachable moment there?
