I have never watched 19 Kids and Counting, I didn’t watch 18
Kids and Counting or 17 Kids and Counting. I have never had the slightest
desire to peek into the lives of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their brood.
If reality TV had to rely on me, then television would look very
different. Anything I know about the
Duggars I have picked up peripherally, from conversations I have overheard
concerning the family.
Recently however the Duggars have had their show canceled
and have been all over the news because of the behaviour of their oldest son,
Josh. First there were revelations that while Josh was a young teen he molested
a number of younger girls, and recently he was outed as having been on the
Ashley Madison list.
The world, and some Christians, seem to take delight in
Josh’s fall. I’m not defending Josh
Duggar, he made his choices but I find it difficult to comprehend that there
are those who blame Jim Bob and Michelle for Josh’s failings.
I’ve discovered that many times how our kids turn out is
more good luck than good management.
Like the Duggars, most of us do our best and hope for the best. And if it’s a comfort, remember, God has
problems with His kids too. Have a great week and remember: To see what
is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
