I don't know about you, but when I'm feeling sick I can't concentrate enough to read a good book or journal, or do anything productive like knitting. I just sit there trying to forget that every cell in my body hurts. Which means, dear readers, that I have watched a lot of television this week. Bad television.
I watched my usual evening indulgence of Charmed of course. I started watching it when the reruns were in season 4 and now I'm watching the final season 8. Every night I am reminded that nothing is impossible. If this perfectly awful program made it through eight seasons, the universe holds endless possibilities. And yet, I continue to watch it. Go figure.
For the past two evenings, I confess, I watched the Anna Nicole interviews. This poor woman just breaks my heart. I kept thinking how glad I was that the gentleman next to her was there. He seemed genuinely supportive and caring. I cannot begin to imagine her pain. I kept wanting to hug her.
At one point I thought, "If I could have a half hour in a room with her and a bible..." She is worried that her son is "up there" and that he's "stuck" because he doesn't know where to go. She was concerned that he's never lost anyone close to him and won't know anyone "up there." The poor woman is so haunted and confused. I almost felt like I shouldn't be watching, it was so personal. I'm not assuming I would have anything terribly wise to share with her, but a few passages from John 14 might be a comfort to her. I really hope she has a good pastor in her life.
Well, that sermon's not writing itself is it? *sigh*
