“What is this babbler trying to say?”*

Daughter #1 sent this link to me and Chris Pratt is my new hero.

“Nobody is perfect,” Pratt stated for rule No. 9. “People will tell you that you are perfect just the way that you are. You are not! You are imperfect. You always will be, but there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you are willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift, and like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood. Do not forget that. Don’t take that for granted.”

What he said at the MTV Movie and TV Awards took real courage. It is one thing to stand up at the CMA Awards and thank your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a roomful of Christians, but to do it at the MTV Awards…WOW. Sure, his “Nine Rules from Chris Pratt, Generation Award Winner” were riddled with vulgarities–he very cleverly kept their attention that way–but he got his main point across.

You rock, Chris Pratt. God bless you.
