BreakPoint Flowers in the Wasteland 1: Angel
An interesting take on my beloved, dearly departed TV show "Angel," from Chuck Colson's BreakPoint website.

Cool article. Of course, it closely mirrors the sentiments I would have said, if only I had thought of them in the precise way he did. :)
Anyway, it does sum up one point that I have long felt, but not been able to express. It's why I like so many of these type of stories, my focus isn't on how dissimilar they are to the story of Christ, but how close some individual points may be to the truth... just not the whole.
From the article: "First, the Christian faith is a story. It’s the account of God’s gracious dealings with humanity from beginning to end. It’s a story that includes innocence and sin, judgment and grace, alienation and reconciliation. There’s a thread running though this story, and that thread is the one whom the Seer at Patmos called "the lamb slain before the foundation of the world." If our story is true, it is woven into the warp and woof of human existence. It’s something we’re all inchoately aware of. If I’m right about this, then it makes sense that bits and pieces of this story will turn up in stories that aren’t even remotely Christian. This will even be the case with our mass culture, which as a product of the West was shaped by Christianity—regardless of how little either creative types or Christians wish to acknowledge it."
