Walt Mueller:
I realized that Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain both died at the young age of 27. I hope we realize that these two shouldn't be seen as temporary blips on the youth culture radar. They both represented and continue to represent the fact that all human beings are made in the image of God, that we are all marred by sin and brokenness, that all humans long for redemption, and that the role of the church is to reach out, love, and minister as we live and proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom. In life and death, Amy Winehouse can teach us a lot about our world, our selves, and our hunger for Heaven. Hopefully, we'll allow Amy Winehouse to remind us why we do what we do, while giving us clues for how to do it.
(If you haven't already read the entire piece on Amy Winehouse, I encourage you to take some time to read it in order to learn about Winehouse, her music, the draw it has on kids, and what we can learn from the Amy Winehouse phenomena about doing ministry with kids in today's world. You can read it here.)
Read the rest.

Oh my god, there's so much effective information above!
This can't work as a matter of fact, that is exactly what I believe.
