It's taken me an embarrassingly long time to admit this basic fact about myself:
whoever I watch watches me
So I will find my life being scrutinized by a fictitious TV character rather than by God or the Nameless One. I'll literally find myself chatting them up in my head as I go through my day, so great is the need to connect to an audience. I'll note what would meet or not meet with their approval and even find myself apologizing to them. But if, as I believe, my real audience is God, then the best response to this reality is continuous prayer.
