Theology with Kelly Clarkson

Yesterday, the young American pop singer Kelly Clarkson won a Grammy Award for her single “Since U Been Gone.” It’s customary at times like these to “thank God,” or, if you’re a rap star, to “thank my personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

But when Kelly Clarkson came forward to receive her Grammy, she didn’t want to risk offending any member of the Deity. So, hedging her bets, she said: “I don’t know what’s going on, but thank you Jesus, God and everybody.” That ought to keep everybody happy.
