Well, everyone excited about tonight's episode???? Desmond lovers are on the edge of their Lazy Boys wondering what fate awaits Our Constant!
I wonder…will we see more on how Desmond and Libby connect? (I always suspected she was related to Widmore.) …is that vessel that’s seen sinking in the previews Penny’s boat in Oceanic 6 world? Is Penny even in Sideways World? And no, I'm not trusting the title of the episode...
And then there’s Amazing Grace… is it being played at a funeral (as we fear) or over a spiritual, or other, awakening? See below for info on the background of the hymn from Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazing_Grace … am I alone in seeing some familiar chords with LOST? [I know, sorry, couldn't resist...]
************************
"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807) published in 1779. With a message that forgiveness and redemption is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world.
Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and became a sailor, eventually participating in the slave trade. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion. His career in slave trading lasted a few years more until he quit going to sea altogether and began studying theology.
