So Ericka and I have been watching a ton of "lost" lately. If you have never seen the show basically a plane crashed and the show is based around following the survivors on a mysterious island. It has proven to be a very addictive show as well, as entertaining. A lot of times I am watching it and thinking about survivor (since I am a survivor fanatic). I wonder to myself sometimes if I could ever make it in a situation like that.
I think I could
anyways. . .
one of the main themes of lost, is destiny or fate and the interconnectedness of humanity. Really there are alot of faith issues that you can take from the show, and just kinda chew on and think about. As the seasons progress it becomes more and more apparent that these people have been put together, and there is some kind of purpose for each of them.
as a follower of Jesus and being part of the Christian community, the question of god's will often comes up. It shows itself in different forms, but it is ever present.
simply what does God want from us?
what did he make us for?
why did he make ME ?
these kind of deep internal deep life questions.

I heard an author talking about he believes that the story that God is writing is not about me, or us as much as it is about him. And He is enjoying every twist and turn, because in the end He knows it will work out for His glory and our Good.

probably my favorite quote in the world has to do with the subject of God's will.
"The center of God's will is not a safe place, but the most dangerous place in the world"
