Lost, American Idol and Kirk Cameron

Happy Thursday to everyone,
Going to try to write quickly since as some of you know, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I take my son to speech therapy. I actually see some progress being made. More importantly, my son tries very hard and you see him attempting to make the proper sounds. I am very proud of him. Funny story from last week that I never wrote about. He is primarily working on th SH sounds right now and the teacher shows him cards with pictures and one of them was "chauffeur" and she showed him a picture of a man driving a car. My son said, "No, that's not a chauffeur, a chauffeur is a horn you blow on Rosh Hashanna. The teacher is Jewish as well, so she's the one that told me about it since she found it very funny.
On to last night television. I've said it before, when Lost is not good, it's still one of the better things on tv. When it's done right, there's absolutely nothing better. Last night's episode was fantastic. We saw the origins of Ben, played by the wonderful Michael Emerson. What a twisted little person he is, except they give him reasons. But still, that he was responsible for the deaths of almost all of the Dharma initiative. Just loved the episode. Thankfully I go and read the message boards after each show, because I missed something completely the first time watching it. (Yes, I am one of those people, nerds on the message boards) There was a man sitting in the rocking chair when Ben was speaking to "Jacob" After reading the boards, I watched the scene on Tivo in slow motion and saw him. Speaking of Locke, he had better not be dead. The same goes for Jack in the last episode. They are two of the biggest reasons why I love the show and I will seriously have a hard time watching if they are gone.
American Idol now. Last night, we bid adieu to Lakisha. I knew that was coming, because it was obvious it was going to be her or Blake and I think Lakisha lost out on the diva vote to Melinda and Jordin. I liked Lakisha but the three women singers are all black women belters and I think there is going to be a vote split a little. At first I thought they were practically handing the show to Melinda, but now in recent weeks, I have noticed them really pushing Jordin. I think Jordin wins it.
Also, happened to catch Nightline with Kirk Cameron on. He was actually involved in a televised debate about the existence of G-d. I don't know what kind of proof he had, because that is a tough one to win. I thought that he came off as a naive actor who was just making wisecracks about evolution. I really thought he came off looking unintelligent. I do happen to believe in G-d. I have no proof, it is just a feeling I have that there has to be a higher power, why else are we here? To me, if there is no greater purpose, then that is depressing. But, I also believe and know that there was evolution. For that, there is proof and my two feelings don't have to be either or. It is not something that is difficult to do. You have to be rational and look at scientific evidence and still have faith in a higher power. Anyway, that is it for now. Must run to the speech therapy now. Hope everybody has a good day.
Later, Jonathan
