Britney Spears and Mel Gibson

I read an article on the People Magazines website that really encouraged me (I must confess, it's the only one of those magazines at the checkout line in the grocery store that I buy and really enjoy reading!) It was yet another little blurb about Britney Spears and the only reason it even caught my attention was the heading, "Britney's Surprise Dinner Companion: Mel Gibson." I think most people would agree that it's somewhat of a surprising pair to be out for dinner, so I clicked the link and read more. The article went on to explain that Mel Gibson and his wife have been meeting with Britney regularly because they saw that she was a woman in a crisis, and they wanted to reach out to her. I was so encouraged by that! I feel like Britney has become someone who the world laughs at and who we all roll our eyes at when we hear of another thing she has done. But here is someone who is obviously struggling and in a lot of emotional pain, and most people find her life entertaining and humorous, when she really is in need of someone to lovingly help point her in the right direction. Mel Gibson and his wife simply saw that she needed to be reached out to and is making the steps to come alongside of her. I know Joel and I talked briefly on how much she is hurting and how someone needs to show her love and I am really encouraged to know that someone in Hollywood has decided to extend their time to simply encourage and reach out to such a hurting person.
