Penn of Denn
What would you be willing to give up to speak the truth? Would you be willing to give up your life dream or would it be easier to say nothing? Apparently for twenty one year old Carrie Prejean, it wasn’t a question, or at least not one that deserved any thought.
Ms. Prejean is the reigning Miss California. During the recent Miss America competition, she was asked by one of the judges if the rest of the U.S. should follow Vermont’s lead in legalizing same sex marriage. Her response was, “I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other, but in my country and in my family I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offence to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”
Obviously not the answer the judges were looking for. The majority felt that she could have been more politically correct.
Asked if she would take back her statement if she knew it might cost her the crown, she responded by saying, “It’s not about being politically correct, for me it’s about being biblically correct.”
Have a great week and remember: To see what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
