Didn’t the Brady Bunch dad die of AIDS? I remember medical tv series where he made a guest appearance as a man who became a woman, ala Renee Richards style. It was like a Psycho moment when the last shot is of him in a dress! It was waaay to close to home to be tv fiction!
I wonder about these folks who see love larger than life in such situations as the Brady Bunch — who, because of the script writers, will look loving in a way that is scarcely ever seen in secular life (did you ever see the Brady Bunch pray or worship? the closest they came is secular love songs).
Since they don’t know the love of God, they go, like starving hound dogs, sniffing around for whatever love they can find. The Brady Bunch formula doesn’t work — the world doesn’t behave like script writers’ output.
The answer is screamingly obvious. By hook or by (well, anything short of) crook, SHOW THE WORLD A GOSPEL IT CAN BELIEVE!!! (Could we imagine what an explicitly Christian version of Brady Bunch might look like? And at least being presented by stagecraft, you are less vulnerable to Josh Duggar like problems.)
Grrrrr... I get pretty annoyed (and so does God) that the world wallows around so pitifully. They don’t know what is less than a millimeter from their own noses.
