This Is Your 15 seconds of Fame ! by BRIAN LEEMAN

Have you have heard of the saying or term 15 seconds of fame ?

15 Seconds of Fame is short-lived media publicity or celebrity of an individual or phenomenon.

With all the reality shows like the jersey shore, 16 & Pregnant, the real world , and so many more, people  see these shows have achieving fame or the attention they think they need.
But is really worth it?

Let me tell you story  about  a girl called amy  who just wanted to be  seen.

Amy is a 19 year old girl  who grew up in the suburbs of  Vermont with a loving family of 6.

Growing up Amy felt  like she was  never giving enough attention  as she is the middle child of six .  She got the good grades in school, always volunteered at her church , and excelled in sports . Even though her folks , friends, youth pastor , and  pastor  give her praise , she doesn't feel like she is being seen.
 Amy's friend  Kate one day tells Amy about a show called What will you do for 50,000 dollars? that is doing auditions. Kate says to Amy " we try  to get on the show , sounds like fun !'
Amy see's this as a way  to to get the attention she so desperately wants , so the next day  Amy  and Kate go to the auditions .

Amy get's a spot on the show but kate does not.   Kate congrats Amy  and says " i know you will do great !".

The next week Amy starts taping for the show , little did she know what she was getting into.

The show's concept is simple , how far and what will do for 50,000 dollars.

The first challenge Amy had to do was eat  10 earth worms with hot sauce for 10,000 dollars , she did and got the 10,000 dollars .


The 2nd challenge  Amy had to  do was   ride a bull for 20,000 dollars ,  she did  and got the 20,000 dollars .

The third challenge Amy  had to do was   lie in a tub of  snakes for 5 mins   for 30,000 dollars , she did and  got the 30,000 dollars .

The fourth challenge Amy had to do was   survive   5 mins with a boxer  for 40,000 dollars , she did and got the  the 40,000 dollars ,

 The final challenge  Amy had to do was strip and dance for 50,000 dollars . Now Amy has to Make choice , do this challenge, get the 50 grand , and lose all respect  or walk away and  keep her self respect .   Amy chooses to do the challenge and gets the 50,000 grand. Amy lose's  respect  from everyone but she thinks  at least i am seen now .

Now this is just a story  but  it is common story and  theme .people today want to be loved and seen by any means  and to  me that is sad .

Matthew 11:28 says " ²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Isaiah 55:1 says " 55 
“Come, all you who are thirsty,
    come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
    come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
    without money and without cost."

 Jesus  does not care if you are rich , poor,  famous,  fat , skinny, a drug addict , etc. He just cares that you repent  and come to him . Jesus   just wants to love you.
