The Reality of Reality TV

By Wanda

Yes, I confess I watch reality TV. I’m a sucker for shows like The Amazing Race and even The Bachelor (yes, I know the likelihood for any true love being birth from the show is minimal but it makes for good entertainment).  In the midst of switching between The Taste on ABC and The Sisterhood on TLC ( a new reality show showcasing the lives of pastor wives). Although I don’t typically watch the show I became a bit transfixed with the ladies of the sisterhood.

As I woke yesterday morning still shaking my head about show, I was reminded of a few things.

5 Realities

  1. It’s always easier to stay offended than to seek reconciliation.
  2. Seeing the faults of others is easier and at times more gratifying that turning the mirror around to our own face.
  3. Quoting scripture takes less work than walking out the principles in our daily life.
  4. Even amongst believers we do not always agree with one another but it’s not necessary to be nasty to others.
  5. Church folks are just like other folks—we got issues!

What TV shows have you watched lately that stayed with you passed their time on the tube?

    Definitely Hoarders. Every time I watch that, I want to clean out the closets. But it has made me more conscious of what I hang onto, since I’m a wee bit pack-ratty.

      I’m a wee bit pack-ratty too :). I’ve watched hoarders before and it’s amazing how much stuff can get packed into a house. Scary.

    OK, my confession? I love American Pickers. My husband and I would love to do what they do, but I’m afraid that we would never give anything up. Then we’d be candidates for Hoarders??

    Love the 5 realities you mentioned – especially #5. Yup, we’re all flawed and broken. But eternally grateful that we’ve been redeemed!

    GOD BLESS!

      Yep, I think you just might be a hoarder candidate in that case…lol. I haven’t ever watched American Pickers. You have been curious to check it out.

    Oh, I didn’t know about The Sisterhood! I may have to find that one. 😉 I definitely watch Hoarders, Buried Alive when I get a chance. It is almost like watching a wreck — I just can’t pull my eyes away. I am amazed that people can live like that.

    I also enjoy American Idol (I guess that is reality TV) and American Pickers.

    Have a great weekend!

      Hoarders does have a way of captivating your attention. I haven’t actually seen American Pickers but I watched American Idol this week for the first time in awhile. They actually had someone on there from Arkansas. Hope you have a great weekend as well.
