Hi Christina Jo,

   I wanted to see the show but what day is it on...... I work the second and third jobs at night so my TV time is pretty hit and miss.
The previews I have seen looked interesting and I wanted to see it.

   I like that quote - Free will - one my best inventions. Sounds like this God has a sense of humor and from I reading hear I am not sure some of the Christians factions will like it. Any reviews yet? 

  As far as the "Charmed Quote" there is no power of 3 - "Charmed" is make believe. Bears no resemblemce at all to the Pagan religion at all and frankly the one time the had a "Wiccan" Witch - non charmed ones - they made her look really stupid by running around the house and "purifying" it.  Real Witches and their practices are boring........ make believe is much more fun. Heck we could all use a good "vanquishing" potion now and then.

> Joan: You mean do better in school?

> God: I can't tell you that. It's free will, one of my best inventions, but

> God: Do you know how many people ask me for things everyday. Big things and

> Joan: But you can fix him so easily.

> Joan: So you don't allow miracles to happen?

> Joan: Poeple aren't perfect

> God: That's not true Joan.. you're perfect. You're created in my image.
