LOST - finale

Well "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--" naw that's not it...... the time has come that our season of watching LOST is over. Wayne & I bought ourselves all six seasons in a sweet Collectors Edition box and most nights we would find ourselves completely absorbed in watching an episode, or two, or even the whole disc. As we became familiar with the stories of Jack, Kate, Hurley, Charlie, Claire, Jinn, Sun, Locke and my favourite Sawyer we began to really become engrossed in their adventures on the island.

What a great finale!!! The writers really pulled the multiple story lines together and wrapped them up to finish the series well. But it got me to thinking..... how are we any different? Many of us are 'lost'. Living on an 'island'. Going here and there. Doing this and that. All trying to do our best. Doing what we think is right. We take advice from many different people in our lives hoping to discern for ourselves whether we're right in the end. But are we, are you? How do you know?

No one wants to be 'lost', we all want to be found.

Luke 15:3-7 (New International Version, ©2010) Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
