Reality Star

My wife and I love reality television. One show that we enjoy is "Little People, Big World". The camera follows the Rolloff family around 24/7 and you see them just simply living there lives. You share the great times and the bad times, the exciting times and the mundane. I think it can sometimes be therapeutic to see that other people have the same struggles I do.

It makes me wonder if I would be a good reality star. Would people want to tune in and view my life? My guess is no. Who would watch hour after hour of: Scott watching t.v., Scott eating a burrito, Scott scratching somewhere he shouldn't on national t.v., etc.

Maybe, though, I should start living my life like I am on reality television, with a camera following me around 24/7. I am sure I would pray and read my Bible more. I would make sure I am always going out of my way for others. I would live the life I wanted to be portrayed to viewers across the television world.

God is watching 24/7. Other people may be watching, even when I don't know it. What am I portraying to them?
