As proof of my self-absorbedness, I have found myself identifying with and comparing myself to the characters in the two highly publicized series finales, Friends and Frasier. I think that I identify more strongly with Frasier, because although I am much like Rachel of Friends, who is preparing to take a job halfway around the world, I am confident that I would not give it up for a boy, even if he were my lobster. My lobster would have to swim across the Pacific Ocean and come to Japan to be with me. :)
No, instead I relate to Frasier. Although leaving Seattle is hard for him, he knows that he needs to step out and begin a new chapter of his life. Real living is taking the opportunities you're given, not wondering years down the road what might have been. If even a secular TV show can see that, how much more should Christians be ready and willing to use the talents and opportunities that God gives them? "Here am I! Send me!"
