Miss America 2014

Old news by now, but a 24-year old (South) Indian woman was chosen as Miss America. Her platform was also pretty neat: "celebrating diversity through cultural competency". Not meaningless diversity, but competency. Interesting. Although there are certain endemic problems to the Miss America pageant and beauty contests in general (a real failure to understand modesty being foremost), it's not my call (or yours) to judge the young lady, or any of the contestants. Instead, it's our calling to pray for her.

So let's pray that she represents America well, and particularly that she helps to give a good name to all Indians living in this country. Amen.
