Jon & Kate

I'm not for sure of the full story, but I am greatly disturbed by the behavior exemplified by both Gosselins--made famous by the reality tv series, 'Jon & Kate Plus 8.'

Kate is obviously more media savvy than Jon, but I sense she has two personas. One private, one public. He on the other hand comes across as having a very public mid-life crisis while taking counsel from what must evidentally be a ridiculously greedy legal team.

My prayerful concern is that sometimes we view reality tv families as larger than life. It's as though they are in actuality fictional characters. While there may be some scripting in certain aspects of their lives for the purpose of good tv we must realize that in the end there are still souls hanging in the balance.

In the case of Jon & Kate, eight very special kids need a prayer covering. As well, their celebrity parents need a spiritual breakthrough of Biblical proportions...

May God re-establish Himself in the center of the Gosselin's home and may His spirit of reconciliation be stirred within their hearts...

I was just reading about that last night. It's all very disturbing. They are so wrapped up in their own drama right now that it really makes you wonder about those children and how they feel. I was wondering what will we hear out of the Gosselin children in 10 yrs? Will there be a behavioral reaction to these scars? Or, will they remain spiritually connected? They were an all American family, A self proclaimed christian one, albeit a large one. So, it was easy to connect with them and now easy to grieve for them. Thanks for reminding us prayers can reach reality tv land as well. :)
