I think I've made it quite clear through multiple posts that I find much frustration on how Christians seems to be known what we are against over what we are for. Yet, what does a follower of Christ do when directly asked concerning his/her beliefs.
Carrie Prejaan professes to be a Christian.
She is also Miss California, and 1st Runner Up in the Miss USA competition.
Many think Carrie is not Miss USA due to her straight answer concerning a belief she has.
Watch what happened, as well as the response of Perez Hilton (the one who asked the question) and Carrie after the fact on the Today Show.
If you know the story, Matt Lauer interviews Perez at 3:20, and Carrie at 6:40.
I am not a fan of beauty pageants (for multiple reasons), but I find this story both fascinating and inspiring. I actually transcribed Carrie's responses to Lauer's questions because they were so rich with thoughts to discuss and consider.
Bottom line, I find it quite impressive that a gal who had likely spent a significant amount of time, talents and energy to achieve a dream would knowingly lay that on the line for the sake of her beliefs.
Carrie chose to be different (a.k.a set apart, a.k.a "holy"). For that, I applaud her.
