51051.81km across the Atlantic is
where my existence resides now; and not without some social drama playing poker
in my head. In few weeks to come, I will join the endless premier league of
first time dada changing napkins, baby-sitting and reading bedtime stories.
What a privilege? What a 9 months of
beautiful travail! God bless every mother out there.
Some said WTF! Others says its cool, harmless, wacky,
demeaning, good old British fun, it objectifies women, exploitative, career
opportunities, glories beauty or glamorize indecency. Waoh! So much for
perspective on page 3 girls. Seriously, I dread the day my little baby grows up
to ask me what page three girls is all about; and the answers that will best
justify page three. Would she internalize or normalize the evil and creepy commercial
concept behind page three? Pheew! So much for freedom in this part of the
world.
Am I lustful, or shut my trap or just pretend my mind is all
covered up with a surgical gloves to prevent the retrogressive tapes of page
three among other stuffs I picked up on a daily basis roll in my head when I
lay me in bed? I feel like the drama in my head is waging a holy war against
best possible ways to internalize morals, view and celebrate women, What answer
will best clear the doubts in my little girl’s mind. Well, I guess I have a
fight in my hands and its now. Good enough, I have the word of God as my guide
to show my girl the kingdom way to treat God’s beautifully and fearfully made
creatures.
Common TheSun, we can do better than that. There is a
kingdom way to treat young girls out there. It is time we switched off the gas
metre of objectifying and commodifying those God treat as special.
PRAYER THOUGHT
Lord, help me to lead not only my girl but millions of boys
and girl out there in the love and worshipful fear of God. Lord it is not easy with
the kind of peer and media pressure these kids and myself faces on a secondly basis
but by your grace I will do my best. I thank you in Jesus name. Amen.
Dedicated to my girl and millions out there
