I was totally offended by the Super Bowl half-time show. CBS has apologized for Janet Jackson's exposed breast at the end claiming they knew nothing about it. That may be true, but they should have warned parents that lewd dancing and singing would take place. One of the songs had a line in which the male singers said something about the girls taking off their clothes. Then the girls ripped off their outer clothing revealing little T-shirts and shorts. I am sure CBS knew about this ahead of time.

I am even more upset because my daughter, who is in the Army Reserves, shipped out to Iraq this very day. The purpose of our soldiers being there is to bring democracy to their country. I recalled seeing a news report shown when our troops first arrived. A man was cheering and greeting them saying, "Democracy, sex, and whiskey." (From the commercials of the Super Bowl it would probably be more apt to say, "Sex and beer.")

Earlier this week, I heard that a student had gotten in trouble for ending a broadcast with, "God bless." He was removed from doing the broadcast until he promised he would not say God bless anymore. I am sure he could have quoted some of the lewd lyrics from the songs of the half-time show and been in a lot less trouble. It makes me wonder, "What are our soldiers fighting for?"

I take solace and strength in knowing my ultimate citizenship is of the Kingdom of God, not of the United States or any other nation in this world.

God has blessed this nation in the past, but more and more citizens of this nation are forgetting where those blessings come from. He doesn't need to remove those blessings because the sins of the people will accomplish that for the whole nation. Some of the commercials and the Super Bowl half-time show are examples of slavery to sin.

 "Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?" Romans 6:16

I know I can not change the behavior of another individual. God gave us free will. We can only change our own behavior and be a light for others.
