It's the-day-after. "Lost" is over. Redemption and forgiveness. Good and evil. Light and dark. All of these images will stay with the followers of this television series - for at least a few days. The intrigue, the clues, the mysteries and the characters took many viewers on a six-year journey. Jack, John, Sawyer and all the others somehow became icons of what it might mean to be lost. I wonder if the story of Christ's journey with the disciples wasn't just as exciting? Do our children, our young adults, our friends, or our neighbors have a sense of wonder, mystery and awe as they read or hear the stories of others who were, and are, lost? Lost in broken relationships, violence, unhappiness, political despair, and so on. The storyline of Lost rests on the dynamics of a community - a group of unlikely companions on journey to discovering their strengths, their weaknesses, their failures, and ultimately - friendship and love. I suppose that Christ might have believed that would be the ministry of the church he died for. How are we doing?
