I was going to blog about this last week, then Pop did, but the thought came up again today when I received confirmation that Britney Spears isn't moving within a mile or so of my house.
What I can't help but wonder is, "What would be the best way to love a neighbor who's life looks like Britney's?" I mean, if we're going to trust her ex-boyfriend's testimony in the article, she's not only an alcoholic but a drug addict, and has the money to support both habits until she's dead. Moreover, the law taking her children from her apparently hasn't made an impact.
Law can be loving in that it calls us to leave a life of destruction. Gospel can be loving in that we hear that we are loved. But how, if you had a chance, should you love someone who is where Britney is right now?
Yes, I should love her. I am not sure I would have the skills to actually help her, though...
I'm not sure any of us has the skills to help her ... I'm just wondering what the best way to love her is.
