How about...What if HE were here now?


So maybe you've heard the outcry about the Newsweek cover that some critics are calling "ghoulish." Click here for the CNN article.

I don't know...when I look at it, I just sort of wish that Princess Di was still here. I wish that she had the chance to meet her daughter-in-law and see her son SO happy. I look at that picture, and there is something of sadness, but (in my opinion) this cover, and the story within, is nothing more than a wish. A wish that Princess Di could have lived to celebrate her 50th birthday. It's a wish that she'd had 14 more years of doing more philanthropic good, and 14 more years of raising her children. I remember her televised funeral, "Candle in the Wind", and all that. Admittedly, I cried.

I asked my officemate, and she thought the article cover was distasteful, and was only printed to increase sales. So...I see the point that some people are making. She's dead. Let her rest in peace. We don't know what she could've been, what she would've been...so to speculate publicly with digitally altered photos may be wrong.

Thoughts on this?

Debate on the appropriateness of the cover aside, I saw the Newsweek title: If She Were Here Now, and I wondered: What if He Were Here Now. He being Jesus Christ.

And my first thought was: Luke 18:8

However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”

If He were here now, what would he find?

Just sayin'...
