Prayers for Jon and Kate.

I realize that they have chosen a life in the spotlight and I am not denying that they have made poor choices in their lives (um, btw, haven't we all?).  But this article: RIGHT HERE angers me.  Like WHOA angers me.


Because I feel like marriage is becoming a joke.

And that's what this article is doing- making a joke of their marriage.  And that's not okay with me.  The last thing they need is for people to tell them to "cut bait."  Why?  Because things got hard?  Because our twisted world-views of life mean that everything revolves around ME and MY and I?

All I can do is pray.  Pray that there are Godly men and women in their lives that are there to support and love and do all the things that I pray daily people would do for me if my marriage was in trouble.  I pray for their children because I know first hand the pain that comes with divorce.  It's something that doesn't go away.  And it's something their children will deal with for the rest of their lives.  

So, media people, please stop poking fun of a true family that is hurting.  And instead pray.  Turn the harsh "jokes" and flames into words of encouragement.  Something I doubt the family is getting a lot of these days.
