its hard out here for a pimp
A song titled It’s Hard Out Here For a Pimp recently won an Oscar for best original song in a soundtrack. As I sat and watched the Oscars, and watched the song performed live, my stomach turned. We’re glorifying pimps now?

post a commentThanks Tim for the link! Can I be honest...I've never heard a sermon or instruction to go to these lost! Hmm...guess I'm feeling challenged to bring this info to our people (we live in a sheltered bubble many times in the church). Thanks again!
Thanks Tim for the link. Kelly has spoken poignantly. We are trying to wrap our brains around some of these huge subjects for Youth Councils this year (Revolution) and human trafficking (for sex or domestic servanthood) is one that is impacting us unbelievably. We soon came to learn that NE Ohio is one of the largest markets for it (close proximity to Canada and low security entrance into US - Lake Erie). I can't shake the weight of the recognition that we as the SA youth department (up until now) have had no impact on stopping it. May God wake us up!
Glad to hear some Gorka. As for the oscars... um yeah, I wasn't putting alot of stock in moral lessons coming out of Hollywood, though it does say something of the movie itself being as popular as it was. I cannot say that I was drawn to seeing it.
It is rather sad the glorification of straight immorality that gets shoved into the hearts and minds of young people, espescially in the city.
