Owen Wilson is known by most as the easy-going, smart-mouthed comic actor headlining movies such as "Wedding Crashers", "Royal Tennebaums" and "Behind Enemy Lines". But if you have been watching the news lately you may have heard he also attempted suicide. And he's not alone when it comes to celebrities and self-inflicted death...Kurt Cobain, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Michael Hutchence.
It would do us all well in this celebrity worshiping culture we find ourselves in that they are human just like us. Money and fame do not bring us any closer to purpose, meaning and hope. I forget too quickly that Jesus came for the common man and the famous man. We all need him whether your name is on a lit marquee or simply bellowed out by your kids in a small house in the 'burbs.
