please
only scroll down and read if you either have finished lost in its entirety, or you are never likely to watch a single episode. If you are still working on it, I will not be offended if you do not read this post.
I have warned you. Do not be angry at me for finding out something you wished to find out on the show.
Proceed . . .
everything that has a beginning has an end . . .
the oracle - from the matrix trilogy
I have recently finished Lost. Also, I have apparently rediscovered my appreciation for grammar. Nice.
I love the final episode. If you're a) a Christian and b) someone who has watched Lost, let me tell you why . . . in fact, even if a) doesn't apply, I'm sure you'll find something worthwhile here . . .
There are two phrases that I am absolutely captivated by . . .
this too shall be made right
and
God was, in Christ, reconciling ALL things to Himself

watch Lost, watch the final episode, and I dare you not to see a glimpse of this. Please, my Christian brothers and sisters, I'm not interested in a theological debate of the reality of a limbo state or the apparent universalism of the message. The show was not meant to be a platform for a Christocentric world view . . . but it doesn't mean that someone with one can't see hints of what is to come in it.
I cried watching this - because I miss my Oma, I miss Denise Scharringa, I miss Ernesto, and Mr. Fintelman, and scores of other people I have said final good byes too. But that's the beauty, isn't it?
What if good bye is not the end, but a means to a new beginning?
My mom's name was Denise Scharringa, and today would have been her birthday...is there any chance you are the Greg French that used to live in Otterville?
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is :)
