Yesterday I was finally able to get caught up on this series. This will probably be the last time I write about the show unless I see an interesting topic in an episode. I must say that I'm still very much interested in how the show will play out. The writers have done a nice job so far growing the characters and introducing us to new ones. Our two Christians have started their different paths and so far Grace, even though she has lied to her parents is for the most part holding serve. Jack though reminds me of the modern day church and is being pulled to and fro.
Amy's secret is known by just about everyone except her new boyfriend and parents. Thus far it hasn't been to difficult keeping the secret from her parents seeing how they are more concerned with their own problems. By the way things are going though, it won't be long before she has to tell them about her being pregnant. As a matter of fact, Amy did tell her dad that she has had sex. He goes into a yelling rant until Amy's mom comes in wanting to talk with him alone. He then forgets that it was ever mentioned and the two daughters leave their parents to be alone in the kitchen. The show is giving us reason to believe Amy's dad is having an affair on his wife, but it hasn't come out and said so yet. We just might find out tomorrow night because Amy's mom asked him that very question as the show ended last week.
I've enjoyed the show for a couple of reasons. One being that it shows us how Hollywood and some of our society views teens and Christianity. The other being how it brings topics to light that I can use/talk about during the Sunday school hour. The more I'm around young people, the more I've learned that they do and will talk about most anything. The key is most of the time, you the adult will have to bring up the topics.
There's nothing wrong with learning from your children, especially when it has been a long time since you were that age. Just keep teaching, praying, staying one day ahead of them, and God will take care of the rest.
In Christ Alone,
