West Wing Pleasure

Isaac and I have been borrowing episodes of The West Wing from the library and devouring them like popcorn (okay, real popcorn may be involved as well. And lots of ice cream). We don't agree with all the politics but really like the characters. We're on Season 2 now.

The drama follows members of the President's staff. Several episodes have focused on the fact that the staff serves "at the pleasure of the President." You have to admire the loyalty and dedication in that sentiment.

Today I read II Corinthians 5:9 - "So we make it our goal to please Him [the Lord]." How cool is that? We serve at the pleasure of the Lord! I just think that's really cool.

I was addicted to that show in it's first few years. I might have to give the DVD seasons a try...

I absolutely LOVED that show! And that's funny because this morning in my devotions I underlined a line about our purpose being to please God. (2 Cor 5, I think)
