Not that gay or black is bad like poor is, but they have a harder time like poor does.<br /><br />I have never heard of this show but I will look for it. HBO is doing some pretty good stuff.

I've never thought of it as you explain it though. I always use it to think that it could be me in any number of painful circumstances except that God's grace has spared me. For example, why is it not me starving in Ethiopia?, why do I have a soft pillow at night while others are homeless?, why am I not addicted to drugs?, etc. <br />It makes me realize that I have done nothing to 'deserve' all the good things I have while others have done nothing bad to 'deserve' their lot. It's by God's grace that we are where and who we are. This expression keeps me humble and reminds me never to think too much of myself because that could be me walking in that other person's shoes. It also serves as part of a foundation for helping those more in need than ourselves.<br />Perhaps the expression has taken on a negative connotation somewhere along the way that I am unaware of.

Still waiting for them to show the importance of the video editors! If there was less "soap opera" to the show, I'd probably enjoy it more. Since Peter Jennings died from lung cancer in "real life" I suspect they're going to have Will's smoking affect him somehow.Elena DeRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070488432007287857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-65197984359484075502012-08-28T09:33:47.920-04:002012-08-28T09:33:47.920-04:00Sounds like an interesting show that I'd like....Sounds like an interesting show that I'd like. If I ever get moved and get a TV with more than 1 channel, I'll give it a look! <br />Thanks for the well laid out post.... You're so right our nightly tv news especially is pure entertainment and not worth the 30 minutes it takes to watch.(GBS) NewsFromTheHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508150515457316537noreply@blogger.com
