Where's Whitney?

When asked who’s Whitney Houston after her recent death, I said, ‘a singer.’ But now I am able to ask, “Where’s Whitney?” I made it a point to hear her ‘perfect’ rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl years ago, and her ‘beautiful’ rendition of her signature love song. Wow what a gifted woman But where’s Whitney now?

She had it all – beauty, voice, acting talent, money, love.

She threw it all away by the irresponsibility of alcohol and drugs ( and more ?).

Her over-the-top maudlin, worshiping and sentimental funeral aims to celebrate her life and her ‘home-going,’ presumably to Heaven. Has Heaven’s owner approved? Perhaps, Whitney’s funeral is for a Hell-going.

Remember, when the masses shouted, “Off with their heads,” to the King and Queen of France during the ignominious French Revolution? Not a good outcome. Disaster. The masses and media have now demanded that the flag of New Jersey’s capitol be flown at half-mast in tribute to Whitney Houston. Not a good omen. Silly but Sad.

Admitting a Heaven, presumes a Hell. Who’s to say who occupies either address? Who has the right to presume to judge?

The Bible says, to those to whom much has been given, much is asked. We just witnessed a ‘fail’ on the ask part. Much was given (talent) and that’s all.
