TV IS NOT REALITY
One of my favorite TV characters of all time is Michael Landon's character Charles Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. Not only was he a devout Christian man, but he knew when to get angry and he knew when to hold his tongue. He was good with disciplining his kids and also good at giving them a hug and some encouragement. He also seemed to have his act together. He was a guy's guy, a girl's guy, and a great father.
Well, today, I met one of his real life daughters and it was so sad to see how jaded she had become because Michael Landon was not the real-life father he was on TV. It really broke my heart to hear her tell me some different stories about him.
But I know that I don't model my life after men on this earth, but rather One who is much higher.
