Don't know whether you guys are HBO fanatics as i am (Six Feet Inder, Carnivale, Entourage etc.) but an american friend has been passing to me the first season of this television show which may not even find its niche in Oz (maybe SBS?) http://www.hbo.com/biglove/?ntrack_para1=leftnav_category0_show6 It's Bill Paxton as a Mormon Polygamast in Salt Lake, UTAH, trying to service & provide for 3 wives & seven children & battling christian community politics against a the fromidable "Prophet" Roman (Harry Dean Anderson). It's totally riveting & addictive in ways i'd forgotten were possible. Seventh Heaven this is NOT! Now, for something COMPLETELY different….

I hope it turns out to be a real grace place for you. my experience (such as it is) is that some of the hurt from bad relationships is best healed in the context of good relationships. I suspect that's equally true of churches. It's a hard thing to walk through sometimes, but real things always are. Be blest! Mine too!
