In my December blog post, I outlined 4 sobering (and uncommon) observations about ISIS.
If you
didn't get a chance to read the entire article on my blog, there's a link to it at the bottom of this blog post.
Now on to another current issue.
AMC's TV drama The Walking Dead is the highest rated series in cable television history.
I'm not a zombie guy (though some mornings, I might resemble
one).
Unlike many of my peers who possess a Y chromosome, slashy-burny-butcher-gore films don't appeal to me.
It's for this reason that I've stayed clear of watching The Walking Dead.
That is, until a friend told me that the show is largely about surviving in community over against blowing zombie carcasses
to the moon.
So I gave it a try. And I was hooked in the first season. (In many ways, The Walking Day is similar to the TV show LOST -- which I thought was superb.)
Recently, I finished every episode of The Walking Dead to date.
Beyond the compelling characters, rich storylines, and incomparable
acting, the parallels to the spiritual walk are impressive. The gruesome scenes, notwithstanding.
What
follows are three critical lessons I observed while watching. And yes,

so.)
