g!c!b!

I grew up in a relatively religious environment, one with pretty strict rules about right and wrong, regular church going, private schools and the very strong belief that everyone else’s beliefs were wrong. Which is the main reason I am in love with the new show GCB. It’s soapy and campy and obviously exaggerates every aspect of each character (it’s always so entertaining to me that not one person is ever just “normal” on a TV show), but there hasn’t been one episode where I didn’t think, at one point in the show, oh yeah, been there.

Plus I love Kristin Chenoweth and Annie Potts is hysterical.

This week my aha moment came during a church function for singles – where the married women wanted to take the “sin” out of being single. It has been my experience that when you are an unattached female in a church, unless you’re quite young (or quite old and widowed), everyone assumes your goal is to get attached. And if it isn’t, it should be. Because God wants you to be married and produce children. That’s what you’re here for, after all.
