My question is, "What if she hadn't sung well?" Would we have laughed at her expense? Why are we more noble now because we feel we've learned a shallow lesson of "Never judge a book by the cover?" Wouldn't a better lesson be "treat each human with dignity and respect regardless of outward appearance or ability to sing?" Don't get me wrong, I hope she wins the contest, I just feel a little uneasy about the way she is being exploited. Is it not a story, only because we have judged her on the outside already?
I am the preaching minister for the Church of Christ in Friendswood, TX. I love to spend time with my family and my church. I am trying to discover what it means to participate in the mission of God for the sake of the world.
