Best Show on TV: Friday Night Lights

This is probably the best drama on television right now. It's the drama surrounding the life and football culture in Dillon, Texas, and how the culture affects the lives of the individuals deeply involved. Each character has been well developed, and you feel attached to all their stories and situations.

This show reminds me of the "core" values that contribute to a stable, fundamental life. Seeing the coach value the strength of his family. Things aren't happy go lucky, which if it were wouldn't make for good television, but you see how they get through the tough times. You see how they balance the pressures of life decisions and moral values. Despite all the drama, the heart and moral character is revealed through their relationships with people and decisions they make.

I'm not saying this show is the ideal way to live your life or make decisions, but it reminds me of how sticking to your values is where your foundation is. The foundation of your character should be rooted in what is right and true. That for me would be the Word of God, keeping that in sight is important, though you may stray from it once in a while.

In the hard times, relish and pray for the strength of patience, to ask God what the right decision is. It only leads to a better ending, His ending.
