The Sisterhood: Behind the stained glass windows




There is a reality show about everything these days, so it should not come as a surprise that there is one about church. TLC has a show called "The Sisterhood" about first ladies of Atlanta.

Apparently the producers of Real Housewives of Atlanta are behind this reality show as well. I am a reality show junkie.  Even still, I had a little consternation about this show.

I may be abnormal in that I do not see what it is that sanctifies the position of "first lady". To me, they are women who married preachers. But I suppose in that sense, they are covered by the covering of their husbands.

Growing up in a Baptist church, I have seen, at times, the way "first families" are treated like some kind of sanctified royalty.  It really did not make sense to me as a youngin, and it does not make sense to me now.

I feel that each of us are called into a certain set of gifts in life. Gifts that should be used under the will of God, but that's my belief. I cannot determine the belief of others. Even being in a devout family, you see the turmoil and struggles that go on behind closed doors. Those are the things that "Christians" hide, but I think should be put on front street.

Being a Christian is not about being perfect. Being a Christian is about following the will of God and it ain't always easy or pretty lol. So am I put off by this show? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Have you seen the show?
