The Cracked Acorn: The Un-Truth

I remember on the farm when we got our first TV set (Yeah, I know the vast wasteland!)

Ask people if they watch anything, and most will say that they have seen the CLOSURE. Consider Season 11, #5: – I’ve seen this one twice (a Los Angeles Murder Unit, Chief Brenda Johnson) A teenager has been caught in a domestic situation and hit twice by bullet fragments. Little hope if he recovers. The nurse tells the Chief that his mother is on her way from Hawaii.

Brenda is now sitting at Donnie’s bedside – “Mother, is that you?” (there is a pregnant moment)
Chief: “Yes, I am here!”
Donnie: “I have always been a problem for you, and sorry!”
Chief Johnson: “I have always loved you!”
He slips into a drugged coma and is gone!”
Brenda steps into the hallway & met by one of her Units.
“Are you OK, Chief? Sit down here for a while!”

Conclusion: the Chief is known for her talent that she can make anyone tell the truth, and here she broke the rule, but we were not there. In all episodes, Brenda is always nibbling on bits of candy and looking for her large purse. She puts on the air that she doesn’t have much of a brain and foils the guilty. Management knows that she should give it up…but knows that will never happen. { must confess that the times I have seen this particular episode, I have dewy eyes.}

ENDING: the SPIRITUAL -Were You There? Mark 15:25 verse – “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” (Were you there?)

Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when the Savior calls my name (I’ll be there!)
Sometime it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
I’ll be there when the Savior calls my name (I’ll be there.)
Sometime it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
[Problem sinner, Are you there?} Please say. “I’m here!]
================================================:
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name

P.S. I always told my late wife at the end of the day that I loved her. Her reply was, “I know!”
