God is everywhere.

One of the most spiritual moments I’ve seen on television lately was the finale of the hard “R” rated Showtime series “Penny Dreadful”.

After going through unimaginable trials and committing (what she thought were) unforgivable sins, the main character, Vanessa, regained her faith just before making the ultimate sacrifice.

To hear the Lord’s Prayer recited in its entirety on this type of show was jarring, to say the least.

Good stuff.

In a strange way, I felt the same about the movie “The Ice Storm”. It was more of a commentary on what life looks like without God: selfish, hedonistic,empty.

The final scene in which Kevin Kline looks at his wife and kids in the car and begins to sob ...as though he is finally understanding what is important.
