To my beloved husband, and very best friend Eric Wharton Author Icon
You are my greatest treasure and I love you. *Heart*


I am happily married and my life has been abundantly blessed with a wonderful loving family. My blog is about the tapestry of two lives that God has permanently woven together by His love and our journey through our many trials, triumphs, and the God-size miracles we have witnessed throughout our daily lives with our strong faith in Christ.

We just watched a new game show on television called “Moment of Truth”, and I have to say I hope it totally flops and that the Fox Network yanks it off the air really soon.

How can anything good come from a show asking contestants to be open about their own perception of truths regarding their most personal thoughts and private lives while publically televised?

These contestants must take a lie detector test and then answer up to 21 questions in front of their spouse and family members in order to win money. (Never mind the fact that lie detector tests are inadmissible in any court of law) I just question the shows integrity, as it’s almost the intent of it to destroy marriages and relationships. Is it really worth losing your loved ones for prize money? Not in my opinion it isn’t.

At one point, the host Mark Walberg announced that he didn’t want this particular episode to be aired, as it was very painful and the contestant insisted on continuing saying she wanted to get things off of her chest. We found it appalling to hear the contestant to be asked about committing crimes, adultery, and if she would leave her spouse for an ex-boyfriend. How bad can a show get?

Just a sample of the questions to this contestant was.
*Bullet* Do you secretly stay in contact with old boyfriends behind your husband’s back?
*Bullet* Do you know things about your father that you are hiding from your mother?
*Bullet* Are you married to the wrong man?
*Bullet* Have you ever had sexual relations with someone other than your spouse since you have been married? (Something like that)…you get the point of how rough these questions were.

Needless to say the lady lost $100,000.00 by failing to answer her last question correctly.
It was - Do you think you’re a good person? Her answer was yes, and the lie detector determined that was a lie.

I think it’s pretty much safe to assume she probably has lost her husband also as he left the stage appearing heartbroken. I have to wonder – was her moment of truth worth what it cost her in the end.

I have more to say on the subject of honesty and truths, but I will save that topic for another day.
