An Imperfect World
Ladies and Gentlemen, our favorite "runaway bride" is at it again.
Tonight, NBC will be airing the interview Katie Couric did with her and her fiancee. (I'll be at a Lions Club meeting, so you know *I* won't waste my time watching her go on-an-on.)
According to "you know who", her reason for fleeing town was that she was afraid of "an imperfect world". For more details, here's the article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (ajc.com):

NEWS FLASH: This *is* an imperfect world! Get over it!!!
Over 30 years ago, country singer Lynn Anderson had a smash hit on both the country and pop charts with a Joe South-penned song "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden", in which the song's refrain contained the following line:
"Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes."
From the day that we are born until the day we leave this world, we will be faced with this "imperfect world" and situations that will try us (the proverbial "rain"). The people who succeed in life are those who have learned very well how to deal with less-than-ideal situations and make the best of it.
As a Christian, I believe that Jesus was the only perfect person, who was despised, mocked, and crucified by imperfect people. Through his resurrection, we, as imperfect people, are offered the keys to salvation and, ultimately, a place in His perfect kingdom, so long as we believe and accept Him. As imperfect people, we really need these things to help us deal with this so-called "imperfect world".
Hopefully, "you know who", through counseling and therapy, will overcome her issues and move on with her life. Still, I don't believe that she should profit financially or publicity-wise from the bad choices she made.
Finally, as some further "food for thought", here's a quote from motivational speaker Willie Jolley:
"A setback is a setup for a comeback."
