RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett
Let's remember to pray for the people behind celebrity news stories
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, June 25, 2009 6:52 PM
After reading earlier today that actress Farrah Fawcett had died after a battle with cancer, I was shocked to read just moments ago that Michael Jackson, age 50, has also died today—apparently of heart failure.
Speaking as someone who grew up in the Charlie’s Angels generation and since I used to have a copy of this very Michael Jackson poster on my bedroom wall, today seems like a good day for me to remember the people behind celebrity news stories.
Farrah Fawcett attended Catholic schools and there are reports that she received last rites before her death today. Michael Jackson made the news for all kinds of reasons during his life, both good and bad. No one can know for sure what went on in the man’s heart, but most us can probably agree that he was very likely a deeply unhappy man.
After weeks of hearing non-stop “celebrity” news coverage of the likes of the disintegrating marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin, I think these deaths today are a timely call to remember the people behind celebrity headlines.
With incessant media coverage, it can be easy to begin to think of Hollywood personalities’ lives as objects for our entertainment. But even the rich, the famous, the weird, the fascinating, the beautiful, the bizarre, and the talented people are children of God. God made them in His image. He loves them and wants nothing less than salvation for their immortal souls and their eternal happiness with Him in heaven.
Today let us pray for the repose of the souls of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. And let us pray for the souls of all celebrities who find themselves victims of an insatiable public appetite for “news” and “entertainment.”

It’s really shocking news that Michael Jackson is no more with us. Michael Jackson made the news for all kinds of reasons during his life, both good and bad. But still we are miss this person as well.

yes, we should pray for them, those leave as alone. The Michael Jackson was a great dancer and he was also helping poor people.
