I don't want to spend too much time on this one, but in case you haven't heard...
There are some pictures out there of Miss New Jersey that were being used by someone alegidly blackmailing her.
At first, she did not want the public to see the pictures, but she decided today to release them.
According to her they are just pictures of her being a normal college girl.
My interest about this story is not due to anything more than role models (or lack thereof).
Now that I have a daughter, I am wondering...where are all the role models for girls?
I certainly never expected to use any of the "Pagent-Types," as role models...
but, aren't they at least supposed to act lady like?
I was no angel in high school.
By the time I got to college, the Lord had done a major transformation,
so that, thankfully, I was no longer a normal college girl.
I don't expect anyone who doesn't know Christ personally,
to act any different than Miss New Jersey.
It does however confirm my mental list of poor female role models, make my job of finding good ones even more important, and making sure that as her Mama, that I'm the role model God intends as well.

I'm with you, even though my baby girl is little. I've found that I have loved learning about great women of the faith, like Amy Carmichael, Gladys Aylward, Elisabeth Elliot. Check out Noel Piper's book Faithful Women and their Extraordinary God.
Thank you, sounds like a great book, that I'll have to check out!
I've also read a good one, Great Women of the Christian Faith by, Edith Deen.
It's nice to know there are some resources out there!!
