I never thought I’d like the reality television shows, so when flicking through the channels, I would always pass them by. One night, desperately seeking for something relaxing to watch and after surfing from beginning to end and finding nothing, I started browsing the channels again and happened to pause on a program called Nanny 911. After watching it for a minute or two, I decided to finish watching the entire show. I was delighted and went back for more. Each episode found not merely one life being changed but an entire family being made new by parents learning how to properly rear their children. It was wonderful seeing Christian principles for raising children being applied in almost every circumstance. |

Yee-haw! Horses and cattle, ranches and hide-outs, outlaws and cowboys, and some booby traps for good measure—Petticoat Ranch has it all. The story starts with tougher-than-nails Sophie Edwards, who is trying to raise four girls on her own. After her husband was hanged by vigilantes, Sophie couldn’t hang onto the ranch, and every man in town proposed to her. Not feeling safe, she took her daughters and fled into the dense thicket and a one-room shack. It’s a stormy night when a man barges into their haven, riding fast and hard as if being chased. When he falls into the gorge, she saves him—even though his pursuers are the same men who killed her husband. That was shock enough. But even bigger is the one that greets her when she wipes the mud off her guest’s unconscious face—though she cut him down from the tree herself, she’d swear it’s her husband lying in her mule’s stall. |

I was watching TV the other night and was actually inspired by a commercial I saw. Typically, they annoy me more than they get me thinking, but this one carried a slogan that still sticks with me. If memory serves me correctly, which sadly isn’t a strength of mine, it was a Sears commercial. The slogan? Something to the effect of, “Don’t give a gift this Christmas, grant a wish.”
As soon as the commercial ended on that note, I thought to myself, “Man, if people really thought like that, we’d all be a lot happier.” During the holidays especially, we’re so focused on buying presents for the sake of tradition, we forget the meaning behind it. If we are giving to reflect the greatest gift ever given, Jesus our Messiah, why aren’t ours more than just ‘gifts'? |
