Well that’s it. ER is pretty much over. All that’s left to do is watch the show die. I’ve been watching for years and now all my favorite characters are gone. Abby was the last. Her monologue throughout tonight’s episode was really touching.
Job 3:20-26
“Why is light given to those in misery,
and life to the bitter of soul,
to those who long for death that does not come,
who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
who are filled with gladness
and rejoice when they reach the grave?
Why is life given to a man
whose way is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
For sighing comes to me instead of food;
my groans pour out like water.
What I feared has come upon me;
what I dreaded has happened to me.
I have no peace, no quietness;
I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
Job 38:16-18
“Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this. ”
These passages seem to be speaking to me. I’m not sure what they’re saying. I’ll think and dream on them tonight. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
