NEW SHOW FOR ME

I think it's in its second season. I don't even know the premise. It's kinda like recommending a book when you haven't finished reading it yet. Believe it or not, I almost did that with The DaVinci Code after 75 pages. I'm glad I didn't recommend it. In fact, it's one of the very few books I ever threw away.

So I don't know after watching the re-run of the premier Sunday night and the first show of the new season last night. I don't know who or why they are heroes. But when some girl named Claire cut off her little pinky toe with a pair of scissors, well, it made me cringe. No worries. She is able to heal herself, and her toe regenerated. So maybe she is a hero. Or heroine. Which is pronounced the same as heroin. And current vernacular calls her an actor instead of an actress. I don't know about a lot of stuff anymore.

So what does Heroes have to do with a Christian blog? Well, I could name all kinds of heroes from the Bible, but not today. Ok, a few--Noah, Joshua, Moses, Rahab (Oh, there you go again, she was a female heroine).

In last night's show, a doctor complained that he couldn't worship a God that allowed his sister to contract a deadly virus. That comment sent me to my BSF lecture notes from Monday night; for, you see, I taped on NBC at 8:00 PM while I was at Bible study. Our DL said, "Don't blame God for what man does to man."

Now, I don't profess to know who gave the virus. How it morphed or evolutionized or how it came to be. But I liked the quote. I also like the show, so far. So it was a good way to write about both. Plus, it's definitely a line I will use when I hear people question where God was on 9/11.

It also reminded me of an Act of God school day that was canceled because of snow or ice. I never heard any administrator give Him credit for the beautiful weather days. Why weren't they Acts of God?
