ACE #11: Why Miley Cyrus is Still on My Mind


The world was taken by surprise by this “new” Miley Cyrus - completely astonished actually.  We were all beyond shocked at her mind-boggling performance at the VMAs. The images of the sweet Miley, often viewed as an angelic Hannah Montana, are long gone. And it only seems to be getting worse. Even her father has spoken out by defending her “way too far out” behavior. She’s even been quoted as saying, “Weed is the best drug in the world…”.  Parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and anyone else who has influence over children – please use this as a teachable moment. A certain level of accountability and responsibility is entrusted to us when our children are born.  Even when they are passed the age of 18, they’re still ours.  We shouldn’t sit by idly when we see them going astray or down an all out destructive path.

It is our responsibility, as parents and even mentors, to explain that self-respect goes a long way.  At the end of the day, the only thing we have besides salvation, if we believe, is our reputations. All of the money in the world is not worth a tarnished reputation.  Yes, God forgives us of everything we do, but shouldn’t we strive to honor Him (and even our parents)? Why Ms. Cyrus chose to go this route is beyond me, but surely she had enough money BEFORE she went this far. I don’t know and can’t even imagine what Miley’s next steps are in her career. She’s not my child, but I do pray for her. After all, her behavior and choices have indicated she is still just a kid.
