Paris Hilton has told Barbara Walters from ABC news, in a phone call from prison, that "God has given me this new chance... God has released me."
Let's hope so!
On the one hand I'm thrilled, on the other I'm suspicious. But, I need to be gracious enough to give her the benefit of the doubt that we all deserve.

It would be interesting to see if she actually uses this so called "New Chance" that God has given her!...imagine that - she could start a new Church series of the "Simple Life"!
I cant believe there are young girls out there that admire people like her though.
But maybe she rally has changed...?!

Hopefully, by God's grace, she might become someone who girls can admire...

Yea...I was getting all excited about this, but then we read something in the paper about how her "Spiritual Adviser had helped her see her soul didnt like what she was doing to her body and so jail was her spirits way of punishing her" or something like that.....So while she says she has found God, I dont think its our God!

Interesting Josie. I hadn't read that part! Like you hint at, Paul makes quite a distinction between "our spirit" and God's Spirit in 1 Cor 2. We'll see how this plays out for Paris...

I was suspicious too, but God works in the strangest ways... People all deserve another chance - we sometimes underestimate the enormous ability we have been given to make changes for the better. You go, Paris! I have not been one of your fans, but if you can use your considerable public profile to genuinely glorify God it would be an awesome gift to the world.

Hi Lauren, yeh, you go Paris! It would be an amazing gift to the world to see Paris Hilton glorifying Go. I'm always struck by what the angel says to reassure the young unmarried teenage girl (Mary) who is told that she will give birth to the promised Messiah: "nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37). I think no matter what our scepticism, Christians should awlays remember that nothing is impossible with God - it's at the heart of the Christian faith.

Yea aye - good point.
Its funny, because I went to a catholic school, the story of Mary has been drumed into me so many times (And they pray to her too) so I've never really actually let the whole thing sink in very much. She was a pretty hard core teenage chick!

To bring the point of how nothing is impossible with God home - when Mary gave birth to the Messiah, she was most likely younger than you Josie! Of Jesus' birth, we would say "oh no, not another teenage pregnancy". The circumstances of the coming of God Almighty in flesh to dwell with us are not what we'd expect or script if it was up to us(unmarried teenage pregnancy)but NOTHING is impossible with God.
