It would be difficult for those born after 1960 to understand the star-power and celebrity status of Marilyn Monroe.She took America and then the West by storm.
It was sex-appeal allied to the film industry, newly arrived T.V. and media hype that finally put the whole world at her feet.
Ten years after this shot was taken during the Korean War she was dead after an apparent suicide.
From fame to shame in a few short years.
The words of Jesus come to mind:
"What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul: or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
For those believers among us still waiting to be 'discovered' just be thankful that your name is written in the Book of Life.
For those among us who HAVE been discovered, serve God humbly with your talents.
For those among us who will never be discovered (myself included) be glad that Jesus Christ discovered you and that you are going to make your home in Heaven.
Jubilate.
Ian
