Remembering Whitney Houston

It is so hard to believe that such a raw, unadulterated talent is gone from this world.  I grew up listening to Whitney Houston.  Some of her less known songs, such as "Miracle" and "You Give Good Love" were my favorites.  She had power behind her voice--when she sang, you could feel it all in your bones.  Her latter years were filled with lots of problems in her life, and I find it so sad that her life came to this.  I feel like people in her position are enabled to self destruct because they people around them depend on the for their job, for their livelyhood and their financial security, which is selfish.  Her problems were well known, and she needed help.  Let her life be an example that if you need help, thy your best to seek it.  If you see someone in need of help, try to offer it or point them in the direction of help.  Offer an encouraging word!!!  I am surprised when people tell me that a positive thing I shared with them helped them on their walk of life.  Treat people the way you want to be treated!!  Sincerity goes a long way.

Again, I am saddened by her death, I found it hard to sleep last night.  When God gets ready to call you home, doesn't matter your age, status, race, or the amount of money in your bank account.  We just have to be ready.  One thing I can say about Whitney, she always talked about her faith in God.  She had problems and was battling many demons, but I truly believe she was saved.  And in the end, that is the most important thing.

What are your thoughts on Whitney Houston?
