Dying Celebrities

Four celebrities have died in the United States this past week. That's more than I usually hear about, but hey it happens.

Everybody dies. Am I right? We don't live on this earth forever. On earth, we're not eternal.

Why do we have to make such a big deal out of just four celebrities dying in one week?

There are children who die everyday because they don't get adequate care given to them. They die from starvation. They die from disease. These children aren't famous.

You can tell what people focus the most time on. Oh Michael Jackson, the king of pop. Oh Billy Mays, the Oxiclean guy.

Really guys? Really?

Why do we set our sights only on celebrities? Are they really that important? Celebrities are people. Children are people.

I don't think either one is really more important than the other.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Except I do think children are really important just as Jesus said.

I just want to know why people spend so much time caring about the celebrities who die when they could be spending time sending money and crisis care kits to people in need of supplies and food.

Why doesn't anyone care about the children who are dying everyday from things that could easily be treated?
