"Jericho" and the end of the world.

I have been watching the cbs show Jericho on dvd. I have had a lot of time on my hands, and have finished the entire season in a week. I think the reason why I like the show is that it makes me put myself into the show and ask, "which of these characters am I?"

Most of the characters are regular people but when their reality crashes down on them they respond in different ways. Some become heros, some become villans, and some end up somewhere in the middle. In many ways I think we all feel we are the hero, but in the story those who are the villans still think they are the heros. Do we all come out in the middle? I was listening to a talk by Don Miller, the author of "Blue Like Jazz", the other day. He asked the question if we were in a movie who would the audience say we were? Would they say we were the hero or villan? I have asked myself the same question these past few weeks.

Although the world doesn't end in Jericho completley, life still goes on. In our own lives tragedies come, but it doesn't mean that its the end of the world, life still goes on. I hope my audince watching my movie will say that I am a hero.
