Reality Bites.

Okay I admit it.  I'm addicted to reality shows, namely The Bachelor and The Amazing Race.  I'm like totally a sucker.  In one sense these shows are really lame...but still...I'm addicted.

The ironic thing is that all reality shows are actually far from reality.  I mean, take The Bachelor...who's really going to pick from a lot of twenty-five woman the person they're going to spend the rest of their life with?  And it's not even like these relationships really last, either--the tabloids are all over these breakups. 

Yet I hope right along with those hopeful to fall in love, and watch as one by one, that hope is deferred as the bachelor decides not to extend a rose.  But for the one who does receive the final rose, it's the fairytale of a lifetime.

Sometimes I like to live in another person's reality because the reality of my own life is quite dull.  And I'm not just talking love life here, but life in general...there's something as humans that we perpetually covet when we look at someone else's life.  We are never fully satisfied.   

But yet we should be.  Listen to the words of the psalmist-"My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods."

Reality is, God's love is better than life.  Ps. 63

Ain't that the truth?
