I am just filled with pride and joy when I see the program on ABC “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”. Now there is a program that speaks volumes of how good America can be! It’s about what amazing things can be accomplished in just a short period of time when we get together to make the lives of others better! That can only happen in the US of A! And that show makes me so very proud to be an American! Every Sunday evening I look forward to seeing that show! Every Sunday evening, I have tears in my eyes, seeing what God intended us to be – those who put others’ needs before our own! When communities get together, it’s truly amazing how lives can be changed! I commend ABC for their willingness to air that show – and I commend those who dreamt up the show for putting it together– as well as Sears, for their donations to it ! Wow! What an amazing example of God’s love for us!
But, following that program is "Desperate Housewives", one of the most pathetic and demeaning shows! It’s one of those shows that make the Muslims hate us and our culture and everything we stand for – and yet we proudly advertise it; and others like it – as though that is something that makes us special! I just wish we would have more of the positive and uplifting shows and fewer of those that demean and make fun of wholesome family values God intended! When will we learn that when we stray from his commands for us we are the ones who are left feeling empty and dissatisfied?
