A lot of what stirs me is what comes up on my home page, The Drudge Report.
Today it is Michelle Williams.
I have not seen Brokeback Mountain in which Michelle Williams stars nor do I know the role she plays, nor do I know the role her fiancé, Heath Ledger plays in the same movie. But I do know that the movie attempts to legitimize and normalize homosexual relationships.
Nor have I seen Fahrenheit 911, Michael Moore’s rotten belch of slander for all to see, for that matter. But I do have trustworthy sources that advise me of the contents of movies without me having to see them.
I suppose it’s kind’ve like cocaine. Don’t have to snort it to know it’s bad.
My point with Michelle Williams is that she was reared in a Christian home and went to a Christian school somewhere near San Diego. Her great acting talent was eventually noticed by Hollywood. When she had the chance to get more famous by being part of a movie hell bent on justifying perversion- she bit hard.
Now the unusual part. The principal of her alma mater, Santa Fe Christian headmaster Jim Hopson is distancing the school from ties with the actress. His words:
“Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. We would not approve of her movies and TV shows (including the teen drama “Dawson's Creek”). We'd not like to be tied to 'Brokeback Mountain.'
“I hope we offered her something in life. But she made the kinds of choices of which we wouldn't approve. 'Brokeback Mountain' basically promotes a lifestyle we don't promote. It's not the word of God.”
Good for him. And of course, he is coming under fire for him principled stand. How rare.
But I guess it is just sad to see an otherwise fine and talented person selling out big when they could have a chance to do good in the name of Christ. I would expect whoring for fame by all the Britney wannabees out there, but on the off chance that a Christian would be able to make a stand like that – it is disappointing.
It turns out that Michelle Williams has embraced Hollywood in another way, too. The article states that she will be at the Oscars with her fiancé, Heath Ledger while grandma watches their baby son at home.
Thanks Michelle!

I would think that Michelle Williams would be all over the idea of sharing Christ and her beliefs within the realms of Hollywood. Afterall, isn't the main goal of up and coming actors/actresses to get noticed? What better way to do that than to stand up for your beliefs and faith in God and truth! I wish more Christians would embrace Hollywood for the mission field that it has become. I, for one, find myself praying for more and more "celebrities". I can't help but feel sorry for them- almost like Noah- when he was surrounded by people living in sin and knowing he had the truth- yet nobody wanted to listen. It's a sad state of affairs out there. Maybe one day I'll get my big break and speak out for what is right. Probably not at the Oscar's...but you never know!
