Searching For Happiness and coming up empty

Yesterday Heath Ledger died at 28. To be honest I can't say I actually know who he is, I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain nor have I seen any of the other movies that he has been in. What I can tell you though is this, that whether is death was an accidental overdose or a suicide far too many actors and actresses while they may seem to have it "all" feel empty on the inside. They are empty because they do not know the love of Christ, they do not know that worldly things aren't important, instead they keep chasing after things that they think will make them happy. One more movie, one more million or one more mansion, yet they keep coming up short on their happiness pendulum.

So if we as a society know that they don't have it all why is that we buy magazines to fill us in on every detail of their lives? Why do watch the news constantly to see what the latest happenings in their custody battles? Why do we find ourselves in conversation with friends talking about THEIR lives instead of our own?

What can I do to make a difference? What can you do? We can pray. Seriously, some of you may scoff at the notion, but God can do miraculous things. We can pray that these people quit searching for tangible happiness and pray that they learn true happiness. We can pray that God put Godly people in their lives, we can pray that they see things that will make them believe, we can pray.

I know one model personally who every time I walk into a major department store I see her face, and every time I see her face I pray for her and her son. I have to be honest I pray for her because I know her personally but I do not pray for the other zillion actor/actresses/models that are out there, but I plan too.

I want to do my part to give them privacy and I want to do my part in winning their souls do the Lord. What will you do?
