Although I no longer watch Dog, having a short attention span for most t.v. shows on top of which I have gotten rid of my t.v. after a 4 year stint out of an entire lifetime without it, I totally enjoyed Dog and Hawaii during the first seasons.
I love different kine people--they add so much to the mix. When everybody is the same, look the same, talk the same, think the same,--it's BORING! How do I learn anything new? Just like spice in the soup, differences enliven life.
BTW, my understanding is that Dog was arrested once in his very young days for accessory to murder--he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like riding in the car with the guy who committed murder. I don't remember all the details. I think he admits other errors as well. If we are not allowed to change our lives around and be forgiven, then why would anyone try to better themselves?
Jesus befriended the lepers and the prostitutes. None of us is any better than anyone else even though we like to set ourselves higher than our brothers and sisters who, perhaps, have not had the benefits we have had. What's the old saying? There, but for the grace of God, go I. And "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
It is so easy to judge others while missing our own faults, I think. Luckily, I have made enough mistakes in life to know how easy it is to screw up. I am grateful that God is forgiving.
