Gene Simmons Family Jewels

Ozzy Osbourne and his family had a TV show not too many years ago. We got a glimpse into the life of a rich rock star's home life, I guess. Ozzy was considered at one time the prince of darkness due to his heavy metal personna.

Well, Gene Simmons, of Kiss fame, in Kiss make-up, the demon on stage, spitting fire and blood, playing a bass guitar that looks like an axe, has a TV show on A&E called Gene Simmon's Family Jewels.

The rock star has a nearly normal life. He struggles with the same thing that most parents do. When his 15 year old daughter wants to go on a date, he complains that she is too young to date. My daughter isn't allowed to date til she's 45. Look at his life:

• He is (quote-unquote) happily unmarried (but she wants to "tie-the-knot")
• He is Jewish and picks on Gentiles
• He still keeps in weekly contact with his mother
• He loves money
• He keeps getting the short end of the deal with his family

Gene is not the same guy on stage as he is in "real life." He tries like most to be a good son and a good father, and a good mate. He struggles with life like we all do.

It is interesting that someone like Gene Simmons is not a whole lot different than the rest of us.

I pray that he comes to know Jesus. Not for the sake of Christian's claims, "You know who's a Christian?" But for his salvation. May God put people around him that will be a godly influence and a witness of Jesus, his life, and the faith that believes and trusts in Jesus to lead him to Christ.
