Yes to God reality

Hello Ladies!

Isn't unbelievable how many "reality" shows are on TV now?

It always strikes me as funny how women on shows like the Bachelor feel "special" after her man has kissed on 25 other women to find out that she's the one. Then the proposal's of marriage after a few weeks of drama crack me up.


Then of course the Big Brother show where you put a bunch of crazies in one house together with cameras everywhere watching their every move. I get paranoid if a spider is watching me spend time with my husband, I can't imagine having the world see us.


Now we have a cooking show with a mean chef, a search for the Idol of the US of A and even a show where you can Swap your wife for another. Oh boy...where is this world coming to?

You want reality?

Come live with me for a week. I'll show you how it is to live with a teen mom who knows all about everything, a teen son who I have to reach up to slap the back of his head when he back talks, a 6 year old who is queen of drama, a husband who is home recovering from back surgery and has drowned out my quiet mornings with the sound of ESPN and a Mom who thinks living in a mental hospital might just be her next address.

Even though AI is the only one that keeps my attention, here is a little something I wrote about the show Survivor....

Dear Jesus,
Every channel on TV has a reality show
It’s amazing what people will do for dough
If a real survivor is what they want to be
Then they should come and live a week with me
I’m sorry but waking up on an island it seems
Would be covering pretty much all of my dreams
Survival is trying to make true everyone’s dinner wish
It’s not about swimming in the ocean with fish
I feel I survive after breaking up sibling fights
It’s not anything about gaining immunity rights
Survival is loving each other no matter what
Being a survivor isn’t about building a hut
Survival is about keeping your marriage vows
It’s not about eating the brains of dead cows
Survival is keeping a teenager out of danger
It’s not about having an alliance with a stranger
Survival is about fixing hearts when they’re broken
It’s nothing about if the tribal council has spoken
Oh Lord, thank you for helping me to see
That without you a survivor I would never be
Amen
