You think I'm being sarcastic? Not at all:

First of all, I just wanted to make a beautiful thing, and something that honored God.

This is from an interview with eMusic which you can read in its entirety here. The topic is her newly-released album, Theology. I'm more familiar with her somewhat notorious and flamboyant public displays of some years ago than with her music, but two songs from this album appeared as sort of a sneak preview on eMusic some months ago, and they're extremely good. Yeah, ok, her actual theology may be over on the flaky side of the street, but sounds like her heart's in the right place. And it's great to see a star walk away from the high life to raise a family and pray.
