Wow, I wonder what Andy would say about the Real Housewives of the Bible. Seriously, I can't imagine that any other housewife show could live up to the drama of the Bible housewives of season one. I wonder who he would give the Mazel Award to? My vote would be for either Mary or Queen Esther, however something just isn't fitting in the way he has given it in the past. So based on that, I would probably give the Mazel award to Eve for eating the apple. The Jakehole award would be easy...Jezebel.
Let's recap. First we had Queen Jezebel, who had no problem getting rid of anyone who crossed her path, and I mean literally get rid of via stoning and or any other means at her disposal. However, she didn't realize that God always has the LAST say! So needless to say, if we were having a reunion show Queen Jezebel wouldn't be here cause she died during Season I!
Next, we had Queen Esther. She was the opposite of Queen Jezebel. Esther had the heart of a servant and risked her life to save the lives of her people. And, once again God had the LAST say! I imagine she would enter the stage with grace we beyond our imagination. I also imagine her beauty would take our breath away momentarily. Her words would be well thought out and filled with wisdom. Andy may try and stump her, try to get her to say something selfish, but in the end he would realize her grace is authentic.
Next we encountered Eve, one bite, opened the door to all humankind's selfish nature, which opened the door for all the Housewives of Anywhere to have reality televisions shows showing off their selfish ways. I would wonder what she would wear on the reunion show...leaves? Would they be spring leaves of green or fall colors of orange and yellow and rust? I cannot even begin to imagine the questions Andy would ask about her eating the apple episode.
Naomi's sorrow of loosing her husband and two sons lead her to a new understanding of the selflessness and faithfulness of her daughter-in-law Ruth. I imagine Any would have questions about Naomi's grieving. He would also want to know about the night that Ruth slept at Boaz feet and what that was like.
Rachel and Leah were the two sisters who shared the same husband, at the same time (sounds like a spin off television show). They competed for Jacob's time and attention and in the process created a legacy of competition between their sons that lead to devastation. Rachel and Leah stayed at odds for their who life, so I am sure Andy would find most of his drama here. Thank goodness they were part of Season I, because someone has to walk off the set or it just wouldn't be a reunion show.
And last, but not least is Mary. She is the housewife who opened her heart and said yes to God bringing to us his redemption from selfishness in the birth of Jesus. All these housewives stories reveal to us that we need something bigger than ourselves. When we operate our lives by what is best for "me", it is rarely best for the other.
