BRAGGING RIGHTS (Mark 9:30-37): 20 September 2009 (Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time)
Dear Lord,
In the more secular world of the Internet, everyone seems to be talking about what happened at last Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Country singer Taylor Swift had just won Best Female Video, and the nineteen-year old singer was really overjoyed because it was her first time to win the award. In the middle of her speech, hip hop singer, Kanye West, stormed the stage, grabbed her mike, interrupting her speech, and announced something like: “I’m happy for you, Taylor, but I think Beyonce’s video is the best!” Kanye was booed and got off the stage, while poor Taylor, unable to complete her speech, was led away, still looking stunned.
