Pray for Tammy

I am sure she is now going through a lot of emotional stress over the sex video scandal. I wonder how many actaully felt compassion for her? I wonder how many of us thought about praying for her. I read the Straits Times to day with great distress. There was one Temasek Poly student, Farah Aziz, who voiced that since society is changing, we ought to stop judging her and let Tammy have her free choice of expression. She went on to say how we ought not to judge because we are not living we are not "tradition-bound like the previous generation".

Can u read this and not cry over the lack of morality in our country today? Just because the world is becoming more liberal doesn't mean it's the best thing for humanity. Liberalization is a western concept. There must be markers to mark out the boundaries. If we are too liberal, we will become lawless. Anything and everyone will be right no matter what another one thinks because they are encouraged to "be themselves". Look at what the western concept of free-speech has become? Look at the Danish Cartoon trouble that caused the western world? There is a limit to our freedom. I enjoy the freedom that I have in my country and in my religion. It's the markers that has been set out for me that makes me appreciate the people who put those rules above me because I know they are not put up for my restriction but rather, for my protection.

The traditions that has been passed down by our parents and religion are good principles to uphold. I will continue to teach them to my youths in church and to my son. I want to protect them and teach them to be responsible for their actions and their words. To treasure their freedom but not abuse it beyond recognition.

As for Tammy, let's stop searching for the video because it's already been take off cyberspace. But there is one place we can find Tammy, that is in the our prayers. Pray for her. Who knows one day u will have to handle such a girl first hand, may be one of our girls in the youth ministry might be Tammy.
