Anna Nicole Smith

She was odd, quirky, immoral, confused, impressionable, vain, selfish, self-centered, a gold digger, famous, exhibitionist, beautiful, drug infected, implanted, weight yo-yoing, famous for being famous kind of girl. She was every man's fantasy and everyone's nightmare. She was out-of-control in ways that boggle the imagination. She was Rachel, Eve, Rahab, and Mary Magdalene all wrapped up into one. She was the poster child for human kind without limits and without controls. Early on she bought into the Playboy philosophy and adopted the Playboy lifestyle. Not only did she pose nude for the magazine but she threw everything else she had ever learned about values in church or from her family and friends out the window. She lived for herself and for herself alone. Here is where she ended up.
She was living in a hotel because she had no where else to live. She was kicked out of a home of a friend because she didn't pay any rent when it came due. Her son, whom she treated like a suitor rather than a child, OD'd a few months back on the day of her unwed child's birth. She died from who know's what reason (the autopsy is yet to be finalized for a few more weeks) but she leaves behind multiple lovers fighting over the custody of a child they all believe is there own. A child who is the potential heir to tens of millions of dollars if they lawsuits pan out. An infant child only months old who will have as tough a road to go as any child born today. She probably doesn't have a will (do you?) and who knows what will happen to the child or to the estate. My guess is that the only people who will get rich off of this is the lawyers. It is a sad tale.
She was laughed at by most. Her behavior was as odd and unusual as it gets for Hollywierd. But Anna Nicole Smith is no laughing matter. She is what happens when sin goes wild; when you live life with no limits or values; when you live for self and no one else; when you throw caution to the wind and live life in the fast lane. She died young like Marilyn Monroe (with whom she will be compared, I'm sure). She will live forever as the voluptuous vixen of our age. And they will all too soon forget the devastation of others lives that will be left in her wake. She is no hero. She is no villan. She is a sad caricatured of what life is like without being grounded by faith or wisdom or intellect or hope. She will be the headline on the news for months and maybe even years. She will eventually be redeemed by the press over the years. They always do. But for now, remember her with sadness and thank God that you have a better grasp of life because of His love in your life. Amen
