So I guess I have been out-of-touch with trending music and "pop" culture as I didn't know much about Katy Perry before the Super Bowl last week-end. Interestingly enough, my children did, and they had a whole lot to say about it as I was getting up-to-date with her music, her style and her image. They knew more than I had ever imagined and they had strong opinions of her life choices, her faith and how that was expressed through her spirituality. I was surprised by their knowledge, so this caused me to dig deeper to find out what I didn't know.
One of my sons, who was the first to speak-out to me about her, was in a ministry school where she also attended; although she had long since gone from there when he arrived. Her younger brother was there with my son, and my son knew of him. Katy's name was still relevant on the campus and there was a lot of discussion about her choices and her walking away from Christian music and even the Christian walk. I was sadden to hear this. Here is what I know, we may walk away from Jesus but He never walks away from us.
