Missing the obvious for Jesse Logan

Not many news wires have picked up on this tragedy. Not sure if they will but it was on the Today show this morning and so MSNBC had the print version. It is linked through the title if you want to read the story.

I am glad the Jesse's Mom, Cynthia will be working to make her daughter's story public so that teens everywhere will be warned of the dangers that her daughter faced. It's hard enough being young without the added bullying from irreverent, disrespectful, thoughtless others. I am deeply grieved that this young woman felt the only way to end her pain was to take her own life.

And so I am writing to ask Mrs. Logan to seriously consider making a part of her presentation a call to personal purity for young people. The story admits that Jesse made an error in judgement when she sent her boyfriend those texts. Maybe it was an error in judgement that the young man sent the picture to others? Or maybe it was an error in judgement that the other girls taunted her with names and such? And maybe it was an error in judgement that the School Administration didn't do more? And we all make errors in judgement. So I am not sitting here impugning Jesse's morality but rather I am impugning the decades long assaults upon moral standards, given by God for personal purity, manufactured by those portions of our culture that have systematically tried to remove God and His standards from all aspects of our society. How many will have to die before we wake up to what we have done?

1 Thessalonians 4.2-5 "For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality, that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God."
