For the past two days, I entertained the thought of auditioning for the second season of Pinoy Big Brother. Why not?, I thought to myself. We could use the money, house and lot, and car, if by some God-approved miracle I won. I think I'd make good TV. I'm not too bad-looking for a morbidly obese individual.
Cathy, of course, was vehemently against the idea, hinting that I was looking to become famous. She may have been right.
Regardless, this morning, I received a word from God that I was not to audition for this at any cost. Reading Ezekiel 5-8, I read of the wrath of God, and what he asked of Ezekiel, and I was taken aback at what He was telling me. Leave my family for a month to be on a voyeuristic TV show? Leave Bible school for a chance at a million bucks? No, no, He said, depend on Me, trust in Me, and you won't have need for any silly TV show.
So I trust. Sorry for the lapse, Lord.

I’ve got a Christian friend who tried it too. The difference is, he’s serious about it.
He actually auditioned last Saturday. I’ll know the result this Sunday.
We’re actually kind of discouraging him, but he said, it’s what “the Lord told him”.

The Lord told him that? Well, we can’t argue with the Lord, now, can we?
Oh well. If he doesn’t make it, he can always say he tried. It’s always scary as a believer to go on these reality shows because editing can really misrepresent you and the family of faith.
