As I have said before, Bones is absolutely my favorite show. I look forward to watching it every week, and often find myself mentally joining in with one of my Residents, Caitlin Myers, as she screams (football game style) at the characters when they make extremely good or extremely bad decisions (as in the one-hundredth episode).
I continue to love the show for many reasons, cute guys and romantic plots being considerable factors. Despite the show’s interpersonal offerings, there is also the yucky dead body stuff (I tend to cover my eyes at this point and remind myself that “it’s only latex”).
The whole, disgusting death part of the show is a major turn off for me, but it does remind me of something that I really do not want to forget…
Tonight in 2 kings 30-37 I read about Jezebel’s death. Now, I don’t know if you have heard about Jezebel. If you would like an accurate picture of her imagine all of the nasty words used to describe a woman and imagine the woman who could truly lay claim to all of those titles….there is Jezebel. She was the kind of person who would and could plow over anyone who stood between her and the things she wanted.
Well…in tonight’s story she was thrown off of a balcony and killed. Dogs ate her body, and only a few of her bones could be found and buried.
Where am I going with this…
Despite all of the terrible things that jezebel did with her life, she died. Within a bit of time no physical evidence of her humanity remained. She stepped into eternity and her body was no longer honored or used.
Both Bones and Jezebel constantly remind me that we are truly made of dust…a day comes when very little will be left behind. No matter who we are or what we do…one day our bodies turn back to dust and walk into eternity. No amount of anything can stop that.
Remember to live well, because your days are truly numbered.
