I don't usually pay too much attention to celebrities and their lives/gossip and such. Just doesn't interest me. But I have been a long time fan of Owen Wilson. Can't really put my finger on why, he just makes me laugh. And I just love someone who can genuinely make me laugh! I don't think he's hot, I don't think he is a great acting talent. I just like him. It made me sad to think that while he is always silly and goofy and playful on the outside, that he had such sadness and turmoil on the inside. So much so that he'd "allegedly" attempt suicide. How many other people do we run across in this world that have such intense internal battles that they never share, they hold inside and unsuccessfully carry alone. It just makes me so sad. Someone like Owen who makes me smile just when I hear his name, has such deep sorrow is so sad to me. I don't know this man, never will, but I pray he can face his demons, find peace, and heal. I pray this for him, for me, and for all of those in my life silently fighting their own battles...alone.

I agree. It breaks my heart to think about where a person has to be spiritually and emotionally to attempt to take their own life.
What we have that he doesn't have is a Savior, a relationship with the Father, and a daily journey with the Holy Spirit. Wonder why someone doesn't offer it to him? Think they have? I doubt it.
He grew up here in Texas - smack dab in the Bible Belt. I'm sure he heard "just enough to get inoculated from Jesus." My pastor said this the other day. Does it make sense? We get just enough - a speck - of the truth that we miss the WHOLE point. We miss Jesus. I know that I missed Him somehow growing up. My parents missed Him somehow when they were growing up.
I hope and pray that I'm breaking that cycle with my daughter.
