so Allison wrote what could only be read as my thoughts exactly... I responded, and well... got carried away!
Just thought I'd share, for posterity:
oyg! Amen, I hear ya on that one...however, I'd actually venture (perhaps from my own bit of current bitterness on the matter)
that it's actually a bit of the opposite phenomenon than conjured in the above comment. You see, I see it as that in TVLand writers and such get to play "God" on a bigger level then God does in life... especially when it comes to people and their choices... since He created us with this little thing we love called "free will". And unfortunately, a lot of us are so bound by that, we rarely allow others to speak into, influence, or even point out, that which is blaringly obvious to the rest of the world. We are so big on our own "free will" and "piece of the decision" that we press past some of the gifts God lays before us... thinking we know _better_ *sigh**off to include this rant on her own blog*
