A matter of the heart

So when I was putting my computer away last time I wrote in my blog, I overheard some news that I was just too tired to write about that same night. So, I will comment on this now. I heard that a young lady is selling her virginity on ebay! Seriously! There are various reasons why I was so conserned when I heard this. One, what have we as a society made of values? Do we determine success with money and a career or family and health? A little off track, a president (running our nation) being payed less than a celebrity!!! And this young lady, who wants to pay off her loans to move to her masters, has she no other option to accomplish her goals? Another concern of mine is for the young lady herself. Does she know how worthy she is? Not because of her virginity (which I give her credit for now a days that is rare), but because of who she is. She is obviously smart...moving to her masters! She is made in the image of God, like we all are. I think she has not reflected on her worth. The third reason why I am so concerned with these news is because if the authority is enforcing the control of prostitution on the streets, what is the difference with doing this in the streets and doing it thru the internet? Once again, where are our values and ethics? Where is our heart? I would, if I could, pay her the biggest bid so that she would keep her virginity. For as you should know, when you have intercourse with another person, you become one with the other person. So, if she sells herself to a guy who does not value her, or himself, or even the act of love, then... that says much about what she will end up being.
